Without the Dharma people are like animals

आहार-निद्रा-भय-मैथुनं च,

सामान्यमेतद् पशुभि: नराणाम् ।

धर्मोहि तेषाम् अधिको विशेष:,

धर्मेणहीना: पशुभि: समाना: ।।

( सुभाषितानि )

Eating, Sleep, Fear and Sex ; these habits are common between human beings and animals. It is the Dharma which is the special quality of the human beings. Without the Dharma, they are similar to the animals. 

आहार, निद्रा, भय एवं मैथुन ; ये आदतें मनुष्य और पशुओं में समान होती हैं । केवल धर्म  ही ऐसा गुण है जो मनुष्य को विशिष्ट बनाता है । अत: धर्म-विहीन मनुष्य पशु के समान हैं ।
