Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Human Birth is the Most Sacred - Swami Human life is the most sacred in the entire creation of God. God incarnates in the form of a human being. Such a sacred human life is being polluted with evil desires, and thus man is defiling human birth itself. Human birth is the rarest among all living beings. God created everything in the universe.Then, why did He give utmost importance to human life alone? Only man possesses certain capabilities which no other living being possesses.Why has God created man? One should delve into the inner experience of this. Man's life will find fulfillment only when he understands the purpose of human birth. Human body is given to serve God, not to meet selfish needs. Human body is the first means to perform Dharma (right conduct). God has given human body to man to server his fellow men, but he has forgotten his primary duty of service to others. - From Swami's Divine Discourse on Oct. 16th, 1999, Prasanthi Nilayam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
