So if we don't fight, we don't take that adventure, then we remain cats and dogs. The cats and dogs, they fight amongst themselves but not with the maya. So aborigines, although they have got features of human being, they are no more than the cats and dogs. So they also fight amongst themselves. They do not know that the fighting spirit should be utilized to declare war against maya. That is possible in human life. Athāto brahma jijñāsā.

Now, this human form of life is not for sleeping but for awakening and fight with maya. That is human life. (break) You were reading the other day why the sun changes color after rising?
