Pearls of Wisdom - 167



King Rahûgana said: This birth as a human being is the best of all. Even birth among the devatas in the heavenly planets is not as glorious as birth as a human being on this earth. What is the use of the exalted position of a devata? In the heavenly planets, due to profuse material comforts, there is no possibility of associating with devotees.

Srimad Bhagavatam - Canto 5 Chapter 13 Verse 21
