This
human body is the greatest body in the universe, and a human being the greatest
being. Man is higher than all animals, than all angels; none is greater than
man. Even the Devas (gods) will have to come down again and attain to salvation
through a human body. Man alone attains to perfection,not
even the Devas. According to the Jews and Mohammedans, God created man after
creating the angels and everything else, and after creating man He asked the
angels to come and salute him, and all did so except Iblis; so God cursed him
and he became Satan. Behind this allegory is the great truth that this human
birth is the greatest birth we can have. The lower creation, the animal, is
dull, and manufactured mostly out of Tamas. Animals cannot have any high
thoughts; nor can the angels, or Devas, attain to direct freedom without human
birth. In human society, in the same way, too much wealth or too much poverty
is a great impediment to the higher development of the soul. It is from the
middle classes that the great ones of the world come. Here the forces are very
equally adjusted and balanced.
-Swami Vivekananda
