Door to Devotion

It doesn't matter how important you were, once you die your body is quickly removed from your house. Even if a storm is raging outside, nobody will consider leaving your corpse indoors a few days longer. Likewise, a wedding ceremony takes place at the appointed time. Trains leave on time and try to arrive on time. All species in this world, whether they live on land, in water or in the air, can gratify their senses, but the human form of life is special, because it is meant for devotion, meditation and experiencing the Divine Light. If you don't reach this goal then it's immaterial whether you have been born as a human being or not. There is no pleasure which can't be experienced in the animal world, but human life is the door to devotion. So what a shame if we don't remember God!
