Human Birth: A golden Opportunity
We can know God first-hand only in the man-body. To keep the physical man-body fit, we must give it proper food, rest, exercise, clothing and care. If we have to separate from our body – or die – before achieving the culmination of our aim to know what we truly are and then of knowing God, we lose a golden opportunity.
After all,
What does it profit a man if he gains the possessions of the whole world and loses his own soul?
St Matthew 16:26
