Why do Mahans say human birth is a very rare and special one?

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Why do Mahans say human birth is a very rare and

special one?

 

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

One need not go and look into the scriptures to answer

this question. Open your eyes and look at the world.

In the Universe that we live in, we see the numerous

life forms ranging from the tiny bacteria, the worms

and mosquitoes, honey bees, ants, rats, rabbits, dogs

and other animals, the ferocious lion and the huge

elephant. Human beings are an elite and sophisticated

creation of God and we are right in the center of the

plethora of the Almighty’s creations.

 

Above us are elevated beings like the Devas,

Gandharvas, Yakshas and other demi-gods and gods and

above all, is the Supreme Deity namely Sri Krishna.

 

Those life forms that are lower than humans have

neither knowledge about God nor a thirst to attain

Him. Those beings higher above the humans in the

hierarchy remain in the same state until the

‘Pralaya’.

It is we humans that are fortunate to have the

knowledge of God and possess the capability to realize

Him. Hence human birth is rare.
