"To get a human body is a rare thing. Make full use of it. There are eight million kinds of lives a soul can gather. After that, one gets a chance to be human, to get a human body. Therefore, one should not waste this chance. Every second of human life is very valuable. If you don't value this, then you will have nothing in hand and will weep in the end. Because you are human, God has given you power to think and decide what is good and bad. Therefore, you can do the best possible kind of action. You should never consider yourself weak or a fallen creature. Whatever may have happened up to now may be because you didn't know, but now be careful. After getting a human body, if you don't reach God, then you have sold a diamond at the price of spinach." ~ Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Guru Dev
