The Rigveda, Atharvaveda, and Upanishads say that simply being born in a human body does not make someone truly human. A real human is one who disciplines the mind to walk on the path of righteousness and compassion — “Man follows the mind, therefore he is called Manushya.” That is why the Vedas clearly teach — “Manurbhava” (Rigveda 10.53.6) — meaning “Become a true human.”

In today’s context, this Vedic teaching connects directly with our lifestyle. When we cause suffering to animals just for taste or habit, our mind loses its compassion. But when we choose non-violence in what we eat, wear, and consume, we move closer to the ideal of the “true human” envisioned in the Vedas.
