two-legged

Imported quote 18791 So the cats' and dogs' life or the cats and dogs in two legs... Any human being who has no spiritual knowledge, he is no better than the cats and dogs, but difference is, the cats and dogs have got four legs, and this animal has got two legs, that's all. Dvipada-pasu. They have been described as dvipada-pasu. Dvi means two, and pada means legs. So anyone who has no knowledge of the spiritual existence-how this material body has developed, how we are put into different conditions life-without this knowledge he is two-legged animal, that's all. So don't remain as two-legged animal. You may develop from two-legged animal another body-four-legged animal-but that is not our business. Our business is athato brahma-jijnasa. That is our life. Now this human form of life should be inquisitive: jijnasuḥ sreya uttamam. That is life. You must be very much inquisitive to understand what is your ultimate goal of life. Sreya uttamam. Tasmad gurum prapadyeta jijnasuḥ sreya uttamam [SB 11.3.21].
