Of all living beings in the Universe, the creation of the human body is the supreme. On close examination it is clear that the soul cannot make the same amount of progress in any other body as it can do in the human body.
Apart from human beings all other souls in this world are in Bhog Yoni, in other words they are receiving the results of the actions of their previous lives and cannot make any spiritual development towards their future.
The human body is the only one that is both Bhog Yoni as well as Karam Yoni. In this body, mankind get the results of the previous lives while doing deeds, the results of which goes to their future. The human body is such, it develops intellectually, improves spiritually, and makes progress in life, which is for betterment of their future. The soul cannot do such development in any other body. God has placed the head above the shoulders. He has placed the four sense organs which are the main instruments of knowledge, in the head. The brain has been set in the head. The soul has been placed here too. God has also given the power of speech through the mouth.
The gift of intellect is also a wonderful gift of God. Through its development human beings acquire knowledge. GOD has given human beings hands, legs and all other organs, which are great organs for progress. However if they use these for good purposes they can reach the peak of spiritual development. The creation of the human body is a wonder and every part of the body is extremely valuable. The world’s greatest wealth or treasures cannot exceed the value of any part of the body. If any part of the body malfunctions, then an artificial replacement may be made but cannot be same as natural element. One only appreciates the value and importance of a part of the body when its gone.
Vedic verses state that people should know God, realisation of God should be the goal in life. Due to lack of knowledge and ignorance mankind regard bodily nourishment, satisfaction of sense organs, acquisition of wealth, worldly love, living a grand life, acquisition of kingdom and living as families as being the ultimate goal. When one regards the body as everything then one spends one’s life looking after the body and satisfying the sense organs. Is only nourishment of the body the goal of life? Yes ,human beings must keep the body fit through healthy vegetarian food, exercise and self control, but only keeping the body healthy in this way is not the ultimate goal in life.
Let’s not be preoccupied in simply gathering items of food and other consumables, nor should we be only busy in prayer and meditation every minute. We should nourish our body, collect food items, do the duties of the household, but not forget to improve spiritually through prayer and meditation to God. God has given this sitar like human body to us, so that mankind can decorate it as well as sing with it, nourish it and develop spiritually. Knowing God is great opportunity, and VEDAS contain not only the knowledge of God but also about meditation and prayer to GOD.
