The 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 perfection 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 the allegory is the great truth that
this human birth is the greatest birth we can have.
