रात गंवाई सोय कर, दिवस गंवाया खाय I हीरा जनम अमोल सा, कौडी बदले जाय II
This human form we take for so granted is difficult to obtain. Among all living species, only human beings are most fit to be instructed about the Essence of the Divinity. And so we need to ask ourselves a question are we really using this human life any better than animals or are we foolishly wasting it away?
"Kabir says, the night goes in sleeping and the day is lost in material pursuits. So a day turns into month and months turn into years with we doing nothing other than acquisition of worldly possessions and gratifying sense pleasures instead of seeking God Realisation for which this rare human birth is most suitable. It is no less reckless than selling a priceless diamond for a few pennies. So wake up from the slumber of ignorance O'Man, before it is too late, for a precious moment of this rare human birth once lost is lost forever."
