Only Humans Attain the Afterlife

Through this body, the soul experiences happiness and sorrow as a result of its virtuous and sinful deeds. With this same body, sinners endure suffering on the path to Yama’s abode, while the righteous proceed joyfully to Dharmaraj. Notably, only humans acquire a subtle, transitional body after death, which Yama’s attendants carry to Yama's domain. Other creatures, like animals and birds, do not possess such a body. They are directly reborn into another form of life. These beings wander in a gaseous form after death before entering the womb for rebirth into a specific life form. Only humans experience the fruits of their good and bad deeds in both this world and the afterlife.

Cmmitment to responsibilites

Stability and respect come only through commitment to one's duties, while the absence of dedication leads to instability and a lack of foundation for a family or society. A truly dedicated person can uphold and protect their dharma, while others who lack such dedication cannot achieve this. Dedication is thus essential for success and the fulfillment of responsibilities.
