Human birth the best of all
How sure we are that death is certain, birth also is certain, but being born as a human being is definitely uncertain, man of all living beings can raise beyond the glory of gods, the goal of human life should always be union with the Lord, and should not ask for other material comforts or fulfillment of desires.
Adi Sankara in his Sivanadalahari Pleads the Lord not to offer him the Status of Brahma or Vishnu instead seeks for union with the Lord. Even gods cannot escape death, many such examples are cited in the case of Lord Brahma who has countless Birth and deaths, even Lord Krishna and Lord Narasimha could not escape death. Imagine our plight!
Even gods have failed to realise the Supreme Lord! After the destruction of the universe when baby Hari is born once again, who is left sleeping on the leaf, who laughs out of Ignorance that he is the only surviving soul and there is none superior to him, until he witnesses the site of Lord Kala Bhairava who bewilders him, what results after is the hymn of praises to Lord Kala Bhairava!! Another such example can be cited when Brahma and Vishnu failed to know the Supreme Lord Arunachaleswara; which clearly shows the heights of Ignorance. Brahma and Vishnu may not escape their fate, but we sure can!! Brahma and Vishnu are assigned the task of an Ass to bear the burden of this world, when gods like Brahma and Vishnu can get Ignorant in knowing the supreme Lord!! We sure are revolving and living every moment of our life in ignorance, it’s time now we melt this ice called ignorance with the heat called Knowledge (of the Supreme Lord)
You and I can attain the highest goal that a soul can reach and remain blissful forever. The gods have no choice but to stick to their duties.
