1
A
- A person who does not understand things as they are laments. In the material condition we are simply changing bodies all the time; that is our disease. It is not that we always change to a human body
- Actually human civilization means that people should be very serious to have perfection of this human body, spiritual perfection. That is perfect human civilization
- Ahimsa means that people should be trained in such a way that the full utilization of the human body can be achieved. BG 1972 purports
- Although a devotee may fall from the path of spiritual consciousness, he will nonetheless attain a human body in the home of a devotee or a rich man. In this way one can resume his devotional service
- Although he (Bharata) lost his human body and received the body of a deer, he did not forget the incidents of his past life
- Antara means "another." Now, there are varieties of bodies; that you can see. There are fish body, there are tree body, plant body, beast body, bird's body, insect body, reptile body - in this way gradual process of evolution, you come to this human body
- Any materially elevated person can be condemned to an abominable species of life if he is not careful. It is a misconception that after reaching the human body one is never degraded
- Anyone who attains a human body but does not take to the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is baffled in his opportunity. Amrtadhuni is a flowing river of the nectar of devotional service
- As long as one has a human body, one should fully use it to obtain the highest perfection of life, namely going back home, back to Godhead
- As Prahlada Maharaja says - Although your life in this human body is temporary, it is very valuable. So instead of trying to increase your material sense enjoyment, your duty is to dovetail your activities in some way in Krsna consciousness
- As there is no chance of rain from the sky in autumn, we shall not immediately have a chance to get a human body again if we spend our conserved energy for sense enjoyment
- As you have elevated yourself from animal consciousness, animal body, to this beautiful human body, similarly, you have to still more elevate yourself to higher standard of life. They are called demigods
- At least human body is guaranteed, even one fails to complete the Krsna consciousness. Because he gets another chance. To get birth in a rich family means he has no economic problem. He can completely engage himself to understand what is God
- At the present moment let us simply understand that this human body is a great opportunity to develop our spiritual consciousness, our Krsna consciousness. Therefore we should at once engage ourselves in Krsna's service. Then we will make progress
B
- Because a human body is very much advanced, has got the power to kill animals, therefore they are speaking this nonsense that the animal has no soul
- Because a human body is very much advanced, has got the power to kill animals, therefore they are speaking this nonsense that the animal has no soul. Why the animal has no soul? What is the symptom of possessing soul
- Because we wanted to enjoy. So enjoy, you enjoy with this body, particular body. Either human's body, or dog's body, or cat's body, or demigod's body, you get as you desire. You get a material body and enjoy. This is material life
- By nature's course, you automatically come to human body. Now, in the human body it is a junction, whether you want to make further progress and if you want to go back again to the cycle of the birth and death and the evolutionary process
- By the gradual evolutionary process we come to this human form, so it is a rare opportunity. By nature's law, a human body is ultimately given to you so that you can promote yourself in spiritual life and go back home, back to Godhead
D
- Devotional service so nice, that even if you fall down, there is not very great loss. Great loss means you get human body, not an animal body
- Do not compare Krsna with any human body. That is great offense. To think of Krsna as, ordinary human being and as equal, or a human being is Krsna, these are, two things are offensive
E
- Even though he has a human body, a person in the mode of ignorance and interested only in his present body is like an animal, for an animal, being covered by ignorance, thinks that the ultimate goal of life and happiness is to eat as much as possible
- Except human body, lower than the human body we can understand how they are suffering. Suppose a tree. Here we are sitting so comfortably. A few yards off from this place, there is a tree, and it is standing for thousands of years. Is not that punishment
F
- For the bhakti-yogi, a human body is guaranteed in his next existence, as stated by Lord Krsna (sucinam srimatam gehe yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate (BG 6.41)). Yogamaya is the spiritual potency of the Lord
- From the very beginning of life, those who cannot control their senses, are educated only for sense gratification. Thus the entire duration of a life is wasted and misused, and at the time of death one transmigrates to another body, which may not be human
- Fruits, flowers, beautiful gardens, parks and reservoirs of water with ducks and swans playing in the midst of lotus flowers, and cows giving sufficient milk and butter are essential for developing the finer tissues of the human body
H
- He (Krsna) is the proprietor not only of human bodies but of birds, beasts and all other entities, not only on this planet but on other planets also
- He (the living entity) does not know that after death he will be thrown into the hands of a very strong material nature that will force him to accept a certain type of body according to his present work. This body may not even be a human body
- He (Yamaraja) has got a different planet, where the criminals are taken away after death, and he gives the judgment, what kind of body he will have. And not like the theosophists' thinking, "Now I have got human body. It is permanent settlement." No
- He's undergoing a great struggle for life under the impression, under the bodily impression that he is this body, but this kind of impression or understanding is animal civilization
- How may one have a human body in this life and not have a human body in the next? Even great philosophers and scientists cannot account for the transferal of karma from one body to another
- Human body is meant for covering, not to become naked. But if anyone develops the idea of becoming nudie, naked, - All right, next life you get tree. Stand up
- Human body, you get developed consciousness. Just like this tree, it is also a living entity, but its consciousness is not yet fructified. If you cut the tree, it does not resist
I
- If a living being does not understand his position, he is stonelike, although dwelling in a human body
- If after getting a human body one drinks the water in a poison pit of material happiness instead of the water of such a river, it would be better for him not to have lived, but to have died long ago
- If I like, I can prepare my body to go to the abode of Krsna, Goloka Vrndavana. That is the function. Human body is meant for that intelligence, that what kind of body I shall have in my next life?
- If one gets another chance in a human body and wastes his valuable time in the association of persons who are concerned with sexual life and palatable dishes, then naturally he again glides down to the same Andha-tamisra and Tamisra hells
- If one obtains a human body in the land of Bharata-varsa, with clear sensory organs with which to execute the sankirtana-yajna, but in spite of this opportunity he does not take to devotional service, he is certainly like liberated forest animals & birds
- If our body at present is engaged in the activities of Krsna consciousness, then it is guaranteed that we will have at least a human body in our next life
- If the human body and the material creation are used for the service of the Supreme Lord, their activities are never false
- If you make perfection of Krsna consciousness, then after leaving this body you go directly to Krsna. But if you are not perfect, if you have simply executed a certain percentage only then you'll get the chance of another human body
- If, with all these facilities (of Human body), a human being does not fully utilize his life for self-realization, he must be considered atma-ha, a killer of the soul
- In different societies there are different ways of dealing with the human body at the time of the funeral ceremony. In some societies the body is given to the vultures to be eaten, and therefore the body ultimately turns to vulture stool
- In general, there are many types of miseries that take advantage of the delicate human body and give us pain. Miseries inflicted by other living entities are called adhibhautika. For example, bedbugs can make us miserable while we are sleeping
- In other words, the human body is especially meant for cultivating knowledge of devotional service to the Lord, without which life becomes full of anxieties and miserable conditions
- In spite of having such an important body (the human body), if one does not re-establsih his lost relationship with Govinda, Lord Krsna, he is certainly a fool who has forgoten his self-interest
- In the human body one can be elevated to the higher planets, and, furthermore, if one cultivates Krsna consciousness, one can return home, back to Godhead
- In the human body or in the cosmic manifestation - almost the same mechanism. So you can understand very easily that in this body - any body, your body - the stomach is the enjoyer
- In the human body, the most important part is the head, then the arms, the belly and the legs. Although the head is considered to be the most important part, there is no question of neglecting the legs or any other part
- In this verse (SB 4.25.13) the word laksita-laksanam indicates that the human body attained in Bharata-varsa is very auspicious
- In your previous lives as cats and dogs and hogs, you simply were busy for inquiring, 'Where is stool?' 'Where is food?' 'Where is sex?' 'Where is this and that' Now, because you have got human body, better consciousness, now you inquire about Brahman
J
- Judgment is for the criminals, the rascals who are not Krsna conscious. But if you become Krsna conscious, even if you cannot finish the job in this life, even if you fall, still, you will be given another chance of human body, to begin where you ended
- Just try to study this life, how much painful it is. This is the human body & what to speak of the dog's body, cat's body? You study very minutely. You'll find, from the beginning of my life in the womb of my mother up to the death point, simply miseries
K
- Krsna comes personally to canvass that - This is not your proper order of life. You are misusing your independence for sense gratification and wandering through various types of transmigration of bodies - sometimes human body, sometimes dog's body
- Krsna gives order because we want it. Krsna does not force you to enter into the dog's body or hog's body or demigod's body or human being's body, but as we create situation by desire, Krsna gives us the facility to possess such body
- Krsna says, dehantara-prapti: transformation of another body. So another body may be in the second class or third class or any class. Never says human body. Human body is guaranteed only for the yogis, those who are trying to advance spiritually
M
- Material nature is helping to bring him to the human body, or human species. When a human being is civilized he can take knowledge from Vedic literature. So in Kali Yuga the Srimad-Bhagavatam is the essence of Vedic literatures
- Milk is the most valuable form of gorasa, and from milk we can prepare many important and valuable foodstuffs for the upkeep of the human body
- Monkeys are very expert in sexual enjoyment, and sometimes sex glands are taken from monkeys and placed in the human body so that a human being can enjoy sex in old age. In this way modern civilization has advanced
- My (Rsabhadeva) transcendental body (sac-cid-ananda-vigraha) looks exactly like a human form, but it is not a material human body. It is inconceivable. I am not forced by nature to accept a particular type of body; I take on a body by My own sweet will
N
- Narottama dasa Thakura, a great devotee and acarya of the Gaudiya Vaisnava sect, has sung: "My Lord, I have simply wasted my life. Having obtained the human body, I have neglected to worship Your Lordship, and therefore I have willingly drunk poison
- No one can stay here, even if he makes a compromise with misery. One has to give up this body and accept another, which may not even be a human body
- No one knows the length of his life. It is calculated that in this age the human body may live up to a hundred years
- No one knows whether he will receive a human body again; there is no guarantee, for according to one's work one may get any body, from that of a demigod to that of a dog
- Not that simply in human body the soul is there and not in other bodies. That is rascaldom. Sarvasya. In every body. Even within the ant, even within the elephant, even within the gigantic banyan tree or within the microbe
- Now we have human bodies, but in the next life we may not have them; we may have something else, better or lower. The type of body is decided by the living entity's superiors
O
- O King, O hero, this human body is meant for universal benefits. If you kill this body untimely, you will kill all the benefits of human life
- One attains a human body after evolving through 8,400,000 life-forms, from aquatics to plants, and then to trees, insects, birds, beasts, and so on
- One must clearly understand that this human body is the most suitable ship to take us across the ocean of nescience, the spiritual master is the best navigator, the scriptures are the rudder, and the Lord's mercy is the perfect wind
- One should not be satisfied with this comfortable or so-called educated human body. We should be prepared what we are going to get next. That is real knowledge
- Our higher intelligence comes with his human body. Because we have higher consciousness, we should try for the higher enjoyment in life, which is spiritual enjoyment
- Our movement is not a religious movement; it is a movement for advancement of knowledge. And this knowledge, God consciousness, or Krsna consciousness, is especially meant for this human body
- Our point is: just try to study this life, how much painful it is. This is human body, what to speak of dog's body, cat's body? You study very minutely, you'll find, from the beginning of life in the womb of my mother up to death point, simply miseries
- Out of that 400,000's, different kinds of human bodies, the civilized body is a great boon. At that time we can make further progress
S
- Srila Narottama dasa Thakura has sung: The body of a human being is extremely valuable because in this body one can understand the instructions of Krsna and attain the ultimate destination of the living entity
- Suppose one has finished ten percent Krsna consciousness. Now he has to begin eleven percent again. Now, in order to begin, I mean to say, eleven percent in Krsna consciousness he has to take the human body
T
- Taking a human body is meant for completing one's progress in life. Throughout human society, killing of a human being is taken very seriously
- The animal fat required for the human body can be well derived from cow's milk
- The Buddhist cult also accepts the philosophy of transmigration, but the Buddhists do not properly explain the next birth. There are 8,400,000 species of life, and our next birth may be in any one of them; therefore this human body is not guaranteed
- The child within the womb of the mother returns his consciousness when the child is seven months old. This is human body. At that time he feels inconvenience within the womb of mother. Before that, he is unconscious, sleeping
- The cow is the most important animal for developing the human body to perfection
- The different weights on the anchor which keep us grounded in material life are our attachment to kinsmen due to bodily relations - all these anchor the boat of the human body in the material universe
- The different weights on the anchor which keep us grounded in material life are our attachment to material science - all these anchor the boat of the human body in the material universe
- The different weights on the anchor which keep us grounded in material life are our attachment to our land of birth and our material possessions - all these anchor the boat of the human body in the material universe
- The different weights on the anchor which keep us grounded in material life are our attachment to religious forms and rituals without knowing their true purpose - all these anchor the boat of the human body in the material universe
- The different weights on the anchor which keep us grounded in material life are our attachments to the material body due to our ignorance of spiritual facts - all these anchor the boat of the human body in the material universe
- The father gives the seed of the body, and this seed gradually grows and develops until one ultimately attains the developed human body, with consciousness higher than that of the animals
- The favorable wind is blowing by this instruction of the Vedas, and there are many stalwart acaryas who are just like the captain, and this human body is just like a good ship
- The foolish man does not know that a particular term of bodily existence is awarded to him to undergo a term of imprisonment & the human body is awarded, after many, many births and deaths as a chance for self-realization to go back home back to Godhead
- The function of the human body is to attain freedom from material bondage, but as long as one is fully absorbed in material activities, his mind will be overwhelmed in the whirlpool of matter, and thus he will continue to be encaged in material bodies
- The Hare Krsna movement is trying to elevate such foolish persons (the so-called scientists, philosophers and other leaders) by enlightening their intelligence so that they will take advantage of the human body
- The human body is like a junction. One may either take the path of liberation or the path leading to a hellish condition
- The human body is meant for spiritual realization, so any movement or any commissions which do not further that end commit violence on the human body. BG 1972 purports
- The human body is meant for understanding this knowledge (Bhagavad-gita), not to imitate the cats and dogs, jumping
- The human body is most rarely achieved, and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection
- The human body is the boat, the instructions of Lord Krsna are the favorable winds, and the spiritual master is the navigator. The spiritual master knows well how to adjust the sails to catch the winds favorably and steer the boat to its destination
- The human body may be used in two ways - for going to the darkest regions of ignorance or for going forward, back home, back to Godhead
- The human form of life is so important that even the demigods in the higher planets sometimes aspire for a human body on this earth because in the human body only can one easily go back to Godhead
- The individual human body does not develop from the womb of the mother independently but because the living entity, the soul, is within the body
- The less intelligent are lazy and unable to evaluate the gift of the human body to achieve liberation from the material bondage; they become more interested in so-called economic development and work very hard throughout life
- The living entity takes on different bodies according to his pious and vicious activities. The human body is highly developed and has full consciousness
- The material world is sometimes compared to an ocean, and the human body is compared to a solid boat designed especially to cross this ocean
- The purpose of maintaining the human body is different from that of the animals
- The real human body, the intelligence should be utilized to understand God consciousness, Krsna consciousness
- The SPG has created many residential places like the bodies of human beings, animals, birds, saints and demigods. In all of these innumerable bodily forms, the Lord resides with the living being as Paramatma. Thus He is known as the purusavatara
- The spiritual master is the captain, and you take advantage. Your, this human body is a good boat. So good boat, favorable condition, good captain—take advantage of crossing this ocean. Otherwise you are committing suicide
- The understanding of Krsna consciousness is innate in every living entity, and it is already developed to some extent when the living entity takes a human body
- The Vedic scriptures and the acaryas, or saintly teachers, are compared to expert boatmen, and the facilities of the human body are compared to favorable breezes that help the boat ply smoothly to its desired destination
- There are 8,400,000 species of material life, but in the human body one attains a chance to get release from the repetition of birth and death
- There are 900,000's of aquatic life, two million species of plants and trees, about eleven hundred thousand species of life of birds, three million types of species of beast, and 400,000 species of this human body
- There are so many, many rascals. They think that after getting human body, he is never degraded. The theosophists think like that. That is very palatable. But nature will force him to accept the body of a cat and dog
- There is no guarantee that he'll get human body. Therefore it is very risky civilization at the modern time. They do not know what is the goal of life. Simply like cats and dogs they are eating, sleeping, having sex life and dying. That's all
- There is no guarantee that you will get a human body. That will depend on your work. If you work like a demigod, you will get a demigod's body. And if you work like a dog, you will get a dog's body
- Things essential for developing the finer tissues of the human body
- This (the eight inferior energies work grossly and subtly, whereas the superior energy works as the central generating force) is experienced in the human body
- This (to know the transcendental nature of Krsna's appearance and activities) is the highest perfection of life, and the human body is meant for this purpose
- This human body is a very nice boat, and we have a very good navigator, the spiritual master. We also have a very favorable wind - the instructions of God. If we don't take this opportunity and solve the problems of life, we are cutting our own throat
- This human body is smashed, you enter into the dog's body, finished. That is not in your control, that is God's control, nature's control. Tatha dehantara-praptih (BG 2.13), it is not under your control or so-called science
- This human form of life is very rare. It is a great opportunity. Therefore Prahlada says - My dear friends, you are born as civilized human beings, so although your human body is temporary, it is the greatest opportunity
- This important human body is obtained by the grace of the father, and therefore everyone is indebted to his father
- This meeting is for the human beings, not for the cats and dogs. They cannot come here, neither they will understand what is going on here. A human body, human being, has the chance to understand the philosophy of life as it was enunciated by Rsabhadeva
- This propensity, is there not only in human body, but in the animal body also, that same propensity, sex life. So... But everyone is searching after, "Where is a male? Where is a female?" And when they are united, the karma-granthi becomes tighter
- To become dhira means not to use this, very important, very useful body, human body. To pass as cats and dogs. That is very dangerous. It is a great loss
W
- We are anxious to open centers; people, the go-khara people, may come and take advantage of it. That is our mission. We don't want that they remain go-kharas and lose the chance of this human body
- We are creating this body according to our work. We are creating sometimes this human body; sometimes we are creating dog’s body; sometimes we are creating hog’s body; sometimes we are creating demigod’s body
- We are evolving through different statuses of material bodily existence - sometimes in a human body, sometimes in an animal body - and therefore the engagements of our material senses are also changing
- We are in this material ocean. Life after life we are struggling. So now we have got a nice boat, this human body. Sulabham sudurlabham. And it is specially advantageous because the breeze is very favorable
- We experience these (adhyatmika) miseries even in the womb of our mother. As we well know, there are many types of miseries that take advantage of the delicate human body and give us pain
- We must understand that this human body has developed after millions and millions of years of evolution and that in itself it is a chance to get out of the cycle of birth and death in which over eight millions species of life evolve
- We must utilize this human form of body properly to understand that, I am not this body; I am pure consciousness. And this pure consciousness I have to practice in such a way that in next life I get my pure conscious or into pure spiritual body
- We should utilize this human body for furtherance of knowledge. And the first important knowledge is that we should know that there is life after death. That is the basic principle of knowledge
- We, the conditioned souls, have fallen in the ocean of nescience, but the human body fortunately provides us a good opportunity to cross the ocean because the human body is like a very good boat
- When one is not situated in Krsna consciousness, he does not necessarily get a human body again; he can get the body of a cat, dog, hog, demigod or one of many other forms, for there are 8,400,000 species. BG 1972 purports
- When the earthen pot is used for a wrong purpose, that is false. Similarly, the human body or the material world, when used for sense gratification, is false
- When the living entity gets the body of a demigod, he is certainly very jubilant, when he gets a human body he is always in lamentation, and when he gets the body of an animal, he is always afraid
- Without Krsna consciousness I do not know what my next body is going to happen. But if Krsna consciousness or spiritual consciousness you are advanced, never mind whatever little percentage it is, you are sure to get the chance of another human body
Y
- Yantra: it is a machine. This machine has been given by Krsna to me because I desired that "If I get a machine like a human body, then I can enjoy like this." So Krsna fulfills your desire: "All right"
- Yoga-bhrastah is not ordinary man. He is practicing yoga, but somehow or another could not fulfill. Therefore he gets again human body. He does not get the cat's body, dog's body. So he directly comes to the human body. There is no question of evolution
