Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Qualities of a Devotee, p. 156

Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.8.19, Chicago, July 5, 1974
This is also material body, but there is distinction between the human body and the dog's body or the hog's body. The hog is, with this material body, he is working day and night, "Where is stool? Where is stool?" That is his business. As soon as he gets some stool, he eats and he is satisfied: "Now my labor is satisfied." Similarly, those who are working very hard day and night simply for sense gratification, they are no better than the hogs and dogs. Nayam deho deha-bhajam nri-loke kastan kaman [SB 5.5.1]. He does not know, "Why I have got this first-class body, human body, civilized body? What is my business?" Not for eating meat and gambling and intoxication. It is for self-realization, to understand what I am, what is God, what is my relationship with God, and what is the aim of my life. It is meant for that.
