Human life is a rare gift from the creator or lord of the universe. Why a rare gift? According to the ancient philosophy, three things are very difficult to obtain in this earth planet, the mortal world or the physical world,

1. Birth as a human being

2. Desire for liberation and

3. Association with the wise ones

and they are obtained only through the blessings and grace of the Creator of the universe or God. Of the three, human birth or human life is a very very precious gift that has been put first and foremost. It is that state of existence where alone the being becomes endowed with super intellect and the extremely rare faculty of discrimination. Therefore, human birth is considered as a very rare gift of the Creator or God.
