We should be worthy to be a human
Human life is a divine gift for spiritual elevation, not for harm. All beings, from unseen creatures to elephants, are God's life, sustained by water and air. The human purpose is to understand how to live, love, and merge with God, avoiding fighting and killing. External beauty is superficial and temporary, unlike the inner beauty of peace and harmony. Humans have forgotten their divine nature, engaging in vanity and cruelty instead of love and respect. The current age is marked by conflict, but through prayer and conscious living, one can realign with goodness. This requires compassion for all creatures and stewardship of the Earth.
"God has given me this human body, and this is only to merge into God."
"Thou shalt not kill. Therefore, you should not kill."
