Only a living physical body is not Life
Human life is not just the living physical body. If the soul is contained in the physical body, made up of five elements, earth, water, air, fire, and sky, it can be called life. Breathing, eating, drinking, growing, and giving birth to children are the qualities of life. Is human life complete if we have a living human body with these qualities? Even though a person is endowed with these qualities, without spiritual and human qualities, life cannot be called human. This is the life of an animal
Difference between human and animal life
There is a big difference between human life and other living beings. According to our true Vedic scriptures (सत्य सनातन धर्म शास्त्र ), there are 8.4 million living beings on earth. And among these, humans are said to be the best. Humans are considered the best creatures on earth because of their high consciousness, intelligence, wisdom, kindness, compassion, and self-discipline. This is why humans have succeeded in controlling all living things on Earth and using them for their own selfish purposes
Happy mind creates happy life
चित्तेप्रशन्ने भूवनं प्रशन्नं चित्ते विषण्णे भुवनं विषण्णम्अतोsभिलाषो यदि ते सुखेष्यात् चित्तप्रसादे प्रथमं यतस्वः
Those whose minds are happy see the entire world as happy, and those minds are despondent see the entire world as despondent. So let’s always try to keep our minds happy and then we can be lucky and happy people.
People always want to live happily, but cannot bear suffering even for a short time. Many people do not know what are the sources of happiness and sorrow. Sometimes, despite the desire and effort for happiness, difficult situations can arise. People get discouraged when things are difficult and get excited when things are easy. Both suffering and happiness are natural laws. Both these situations revolve in a circle. We should be able to accept both sides happily, and only then can we live a happy life.
Nature for happiness and joy
People use various natural resources to enjoy themselves. Some climb green forested mountains, some climb the Himalayas, some visit flower gardens, and wander. Sometimes they enjoy themselves on the seashore. Some enjoy sports, and some enjoy songs and music. Similarly, people inspired by religious feelings can be seen enjoying themselves by performing puja (worshipping), aarti, and bhajans. We can see a lot of people enjoying being devotees.
Our Earth is full of innumerable natural resources that give joy. We have been enjoying ourselves by making good use of such divine gifts. Nature has not given this gift only to mankind, but also to the 8.4 million living creatures on earth who have been living happily on earth as land animals, aquatic animals, amphibians, and reptiles.
Peace, happiness, and sorrow in the world
The animal world on Earth is a wonderful, divine creation. Nature has created a structure for 8.4 million creatures to live happily and peacefully. On the other hand, it has provided different types of physical and mental abilities to live in different environments, such as land animals, aquatic animals, and birds. All types of creatures have been living in their own natural world, producing children and leading a peaceful and happy life.
Human life is superior
Human life has been established as the best among 8.4 million living beings because God has endowed it with the highest level of brain consciousness. Humans have been inventing and producing various means of happiness and convenience using their special consciousness and intelligence.
Such scientific research and inventions have made transportation,communication, health, education, and all human needs accessible and easy. Thus, human life has become peaceful, happy and lucky . Reason for happy or unhappy life
Humans have got higher consciousness as a divine gift, and have created various solutions to lead a safe and happy life. In this process, people acquire various facilities to achieve happiness. There are many examples of many people in the present age who have not been able to be happy despite obtaining the things they want and need. The reason for this is an unhappy mind, along with greed, jealousy, pride, hatred for others, violence, etc. In this way, they want happiness but end up getting pain.

We should be able to be content and happy in normal achievements and behavior. Happiness and peace are within us and we should be able to use them. The scripture says = संतोषं परमं सुखम्ः satisfaction is the happiness.
