The Master's lesson was about animals and Man as animal. He said very clearly: "Animals are immensibly superior to a Man who has ditched his Human Dignity." But Ven objected by saying:
"But Master, that man still is totally animal at least, then, how can other animals be superior to him?" The Master smiled as he answered him:
"All animals, ALWAYS act according to-, and thus in harmony
with-, Nature. When a Man-animal, who is furnished with a whole
extra capacity, throws this overboard, indeed he can act as an
animal, yet, he is decidedly contrary to harmony with nature.
When he is privelaged in having a capacity to be contrary to
Nature, and he uses this to be so, the difference then, between
him and an animal is like a dissonant against harmony in music.
An animal, capable of self-control, who does not control at all,
is an abomination." [11], [40]
