Human form is very rare, use it or lose it...

Verse 1.8.48 (Shalini Mataji):
* Wonderful truth that is usually not seen by many of us.
* The most surprising thing is that we see everyone dying, but still we think I am not the person who is going to die.
* Krishna says in the BG that the embodied soul is just passing through this body from child to old age and then next to another body.
* Krishna is further saying, that the human form is completely wasted, if after achieving such a rare human form, we do not use it for devotional service.
* Here King Yudhistira is also feeling something similar, that this body is meant for others. But on account of him, so many ppl were killed. So he was feeling ver sinful just to enthrone him back.
* Almost 18 aksauhini's were killed: A solid phalanx of 21,870 chariots, 21,870 elephants, 109,650 infantry and 65,600 cavalry is called an aksauhini. And many aksauhinis were killed on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra.
* A good song by Srila Bhaktivinoda thakur: durlabha manava janama ....
- human form such a rare opportunity, I have wasted this rare form, Oh where or whom do I tell this tale
- when this body falls, all ones relatives cannot give any happiness. this is the condition we are in. no one can give happiness except for the Supreme Lord Kesava.
- Day and night we are working for our material life, without realizing that the spiritual life is going to docks. Spiritual laziness is the greatest danger for the society today, where we want to work work and work and no time to think or read about Krishna.
- There is no one except of Krishna at the time of death.
- Kindly leave all temporary illusions and please try to have the intelligence that will allow to worship Krishna with pure eternal love and devotion. This is the real truth.
- And the from song: vrindavana ramyasthana... this is the highest form of enjoyment we can get, if we serve the devotees, guru and Krishna, without any impurities in our heart. Uninterrupted and unmotivated devotional service.
