The human form of life is the most important ....



The human form of life is the most important and the most valuable. Humans possess far greater knowledge than other creatures. While other creatures possess knowledge pertaining to only the body, humans have access to knowledge pertaining to the material body as well as the spirit soul. Only humans can attain the knowledge of God.

Even devtas (celestial gods) desire the human form. The reason is that humans alone reap fruits of their actions. Humans not only taste fruits of actions of previous lifetimes (known as destiny), but also taste fruits of actions performed in the present. Devtas merely reap fruits of previous actions but are not held accountable for actions of the present life. They must be born human to make spiritual progress and thereby attain God.

One disadvantage of human form is that death may come any moment. Consequently, we must embrace the Godly path without procrastination.

Life is as temporary as that of a bubble that appears in water one moment only to disappear the next. Prahlad says to his little friends, "Do not wait until you are older, to know God. Death may pay a visit any moment to any one of us."

What is the importance of knowing God? 


मिलत नहिं नर तनु बारम्बार ।
कबहुँक करि करुणा करुणाकर, दे नृदेह संसार ।
उलटो टांगी बाँधि मुख गर्भहिं, समुझायेहु जग सार ।
दीन ज्ञान जब कीन प्रतिज्ञा, भजिहौं नंदकुमार ।
भूलि गयो सो दशा भई पुनि, ज्यों रहि गर्भ मझार ।
यह 'कृपालु' नर तनु सुरदुर्लभ, सुमिरु श्याम सरकार ।

भावार्थ - यह मनुष्य का शरीर बार बार नहीं मिलता । दयामय भगवान चौरासी लाख योनियों में भटकने के पश्चात् दया करके कभी मानव देह प्रदान करते हैं । मानव देह देने के पूर्व ही संसार के वास्तविक स्वरुप का परिचय कराने के लिए गर्भ में उल्टा टांग कर मुख तक बाँध देते हैं । जब गर्भ में बालक के लिए कष्ट असह्य हो जाता है तब उसे ज्ञान देते हैं और वह (जीव) प्रतिज्ञा करता है कि मुझे गर्भ से बाहर निकाल दीजिये, मैं केवल आपका ही भजन करूँगा । जन्म के पश्चात जो श्यामसुंदर को भूल जाता है, उसकी वर्तमान जीवन में भी गर्भस्थ अवस्था के समान ही दयनीय दशा हो जाती है । 'श्री कृपालु जी' कहते हैं कि यह मानव देह देवताओं के लिए भी दुर्लभ है, इसलिए सावधान हो कर श्यामसुंदर का स्मरण करो ।
