[Jyotir]

All life is equal because all life in any form is essentially the Highest.

However, one needs a human incarnation to self-consciously realize this.
Certainly animals cannot do this.
Even the gods have to take human incarnation to have this experience which does lead to the Highest, even surpassing the gods themselves.


Human birth is the rarest and gives the possibility of realizing the Highest.

But it doesn’t end there.

Rarer still is the birth of divinity within a human life - awakening - which begins the life of conscious spiritual aspiration.

Rarer still is then receiving a true teaching which facilitates that spiritual aspiration which leads to realisation.
