Mukti· LiberationTreasure the Human Opportunity
“In this world there are many kinds of created bodies — some with one leg, others with two, three, four or more legs, and still others with no legs — but of all these, the human form is actually dear to Me.”
What the purport teaches
- The world contains many kinds of created bodies. Among them, the human form is particularly dear to the Lord.
- The ultimate purpose of material creation is to help conditioned souls return home, back to Godhead.
- This return is especially possible in human life. The human form is therefore especially dear to the compassionate Personality of Godhead.
