as animal next life

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].    (More...)

So here also it is said... In the first verse it is said mūḍha, and the second verse also it is said, sa evam vartamanaḥ ajnaḥ. Ajna means rascal. Mūḍha means rascal. Ajna means ignorant, ignorant, who has no knowledge. Jna means one who has knowledge. Ajna mean who has no knowledge. Mrtyu-kala upasthite. So everyone in this material world, he is mūḍha, ajna. He does not care that "I will have to meet death. When everything will be finished, all my plans, all my assets, everything, will be finished." He does not know that. He knows it, but he doesn't care to observing these things. Therefore everyone is mūḍha and ajna. Then, in spite of the death has come, matim cakara tanaye bale narayanahvaye. He is experiencing, "Now I am dying; death is near." Still, he is thinking of his that child. So yam yam vapi smaran loke tyajaty ante [Bg 8.6]. He has got a child. His name is Narayana.    (More...)

Prabhupada: That is. So that means he is eternal. This death is artificial. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg 2.20]. He does not die. He is not killed. There is one verse that "If one thinks that 'I am killer,' and one thinks, 'I am killed,' both of them do not know what is life." In the Bhagavad-gita there is a verse. So I am eternal. That's a fact. Therefore I do not wish to be killed. But I do not know how to keep myself. That I do not know. We are giving that information, how you can keep yourself eternal. This is the greatest gift to the human society. He wants to live eternally, but he does not know how to live eternally. His energy is being spoiled by this skyscraper building construction. But he is not very serious to construct his body eternal.    (More...)
