720720 - Lecture SB 01.01.10 - London

This life, this valuable life, is very, very important, this human form of life. Why is it important? You can get out of all miserable condition of material life. We should try to understand, the material life means simply miseries. But they are illusioned by māyā. They are accepting this miserable life as very comfortable. This is called māyā.

So our life, this human form of life, is for understanding our constitutional position that, "I am not this body; I am spirit soul. So long in the lower grades of life, animal life, I have simply wasted my time considering myself as the body. Now in the human form of life I am intelligent enough, my consciousness is developed, so I should understand that I am not this body; I am spirit soul."
