Man is a combination of the body, the mind and the Spirit (Atma). He is thus the embodiment of these three. But, forgetting the mind and the Atma, when man identifies himself solely with the body, he reduces himself to an animal. When he forgets the Atma and the body and identifies himself with the mind alone, he becomes a demon. When one forgets the body and the mind and adheres only to the Atma, he gets divinised.
(Sanathana Sarathi, November 1994, pg 282)
