The ancient Hindu text Bhagavadgita, which is at least 5,000 years old and dates back to the Mahabharatha era, says that just as one leaves an old shirt to put on a new one, the soul leaves an old body to acquire a new type of body. It can be born as any of the 8.4 million species on this planet, one of which is human, the largest of all life forms. Since being born as a human is such a rare opportunity, you should make the most of this human life and dedicate your whole life to doing good things, acquiring knowledge, helping others, serving society and trying to achieve moksha (salvation).
