Now we have a human body and we can acquire Knowledge, renunciation and devotion to God. Salvation is achieved only in the human life form and in no other species. All saints, sages and Great Divine Souls were born as human beings. A human body may be very good-looking but if it is not used to remember the Holy Name of God, then it is useless. It is not at all appropriate for human beings to remain engrossed, all the time, in worldy enjoyments and attachments. A small mistake can ensnare a person in terrible miseries. A human body is cause for salvation and also for bondage. The person who plunges into devotion to God gets salvation while others, who forget God and engrossed in worldly enjoyments get trapped.
