Specialties of Human Life!
Only humans are capable of understanding God. This privilege belongs to another form of life among the 84 lakh species. What is the reason that only humans are capable of acquiring this knowledge?
Humans can enslave not just animals and birds, but also God Himself by their Bhakti, who is supremely independent in every way!! Human individuals hold such incredible power!!!! God has provided them this privilege! The second unique aspect is that animals and birds have very limited knowledge – simply what is required for survival. Humans have such a high understanding that God has also given them a sense of judgment and wisdom. We are termed human beings because of this sensibility; we have humanity within us. We have been given intelligence and knowledge superiority.
It is for this reason why humans are superior to animals and birds. There is one additional thing that neither animals nor birds nor demi-gods possess. Animals and birds, as well as demi-gods, exist solely to make reason, i.e. they are Bhog Yoni. Bhog Yoni signifies that no new activities will be possible; instead, they will be able to enjoy the results of their previous acts (during their previous lifetimes as human beings). The second meaning of 'Bhog Yoni' is that no matter what animals or birds do, they will not get the fruit of their deeds. If the demi-gods do anything, they are doing something, but they will not reap the benefits. Only satisfaction of the senses!
And what about people? The human form of life is not a Bhog Yoni; it is a Karma Yoni. The actions performed by us in the present are called purusharth. Performing new actions is in the hands of human beings. They can perform good actions or bad actions; they can uplift themselves or downgrade themselves. Human beings have this freedom. They have that much intelligence because God has given it to them. It is the finest kind of life since one can undertake actions that bear fruit in this human form of existence. Also, pay close attention! Two things are required to gain God, to obtain God's Knowledge - that Complete Knowledge - that Love. If both of these are present, such a way of living will be able to reach God. The predominance of Knowledge and Sovereignty to Act are both presents in the human form of life. As a result, human beings are capable of attaining God.
