The Aim of Human life
(continued...)
Worldly pleasures can be enjoyed in every form of life. A sow can give birth to ten or twelve young ones at a time. So is it a great achievement for you to produce two or three children? If earning money is an achievement, .serpents have a lot of money because they live at such places where there is money. If leading a luxurious life and enjoying the worldly pleasures is an achievement, there are dogs in cities like Bombay which get all the luxuries that are not available to most of the people. They travel by cars and aeroplanes and every luxury is provided to them, It is a matter of fortune that even dogs may get so many luxuries. Therefore it is a matter of serious blunder and degradation to waste the most precious and rare human life in accumulation of wealth and enjoying the worldly pleasures by sinful acts like falsehood, fraud and dishonesty and paving the way lo hell. Therefore be careful to achieve the highest and the noblest goal of human life which can't be achieved in any other form of life.
A man has to suffer the pains in eighty-four lac forms of lives because of the sins done in the human body. All the four ages — Satya, Tretaa, Dwaapara and Kali are spent in undergoing sufferings of the world and hell, yet the deadly snis committed and accumulated in human life are not exhausted. But God being gracious bestows human life upon us so that we may attain Him. The almighty God whose mere thought creates and rears the infinite universes, is prepared to obey us if we love him from our heart. The cowherdesses (Gopis) say to Lord Krsna, "If you dance a bit and play on flute, we shall give you butter-milk." And Lord Krsna starts dancing and playing on flute. Just imagine theimportance and dignity of this human life which makes Lord Krsna dance. But it is a blunder if in this Life we commit sinful actions and thus make preparation to pave the way to hell for suffering tortures. We should take the best possible advantage of this human life.You have come to Vrindaavana. so it is advisable for you to visit the temples and behold God and take bath in the Jamunaa, Find out things which are helpful in God-realization. This is a place of pilgrimage, so visit temple to behold God, attend the programme of loud chanting, listen to divine stories as well as religious discourses and take full advantage of your visit to this place. What is the use of wasting your Time in visiting movies and dramatic performances etc., here? These things are better available in big cities like Calcutta and Bombay. Similarly take advantage of human life which has been bestowed upon you by God's grace. Don't waste it in worldly pleasures and enjoyments which can be available even in the life of a dog, a pig, a donkey or a crow. We are fortunate enough that we have got this human body which even demi-gods can't get.
