As consciousness in lower species is too covered to perceive suffering, what is the problem with falling to lower species?

So, the question is that we sometimes, we tell people that if we don’t practice Krishna Maharshi, we may degrade the lower life. But then they argue, lower species, people are living, this one ship is so covered, that they don’t even realize what is happening. So, what is the problem in lower species? Living lower species? Then we just leave subject to experience and then the object to reality.
The subject to experience means, say somebody is in coma. Notice that person is so unconscious. That person is not even conscious that I am suffering.
We may say that, that is true, subject to that person will not be aware of suffering. We don’t know what that person’s consciousness is at all. But object to reality is, see that person is living just like a vegetative state.
See, somebody has been very active, energetic, energetic. That person has been like a performer, achiever kind of person. And then that person suddenly is now reduced to a state of vegetative condition.
It is very sad. So, for a soul who has a potential to attain eternal love, eternal happiness, for that soul to be reduced to a vegetable-like existence, it is very sad. Even if that soul, we say, for argument’s sake, then goes suffering, because one ship is so diminished.
But still, that diminished existence is such a under-neutralization of potential, it has to be tragic. Further, it is not that in the animal species there is no suffering. In the animal species, Prabhupada writes in Aishwarya Purport, that the needs of the animals are as important for them as our needs are for us.
But, their needs are fulfilled in nasty and unpleasant conditions. What that means, suppose now after this program there is prasad, now all of us will go and sit and eat prasad. Now, when a mosquito comes and sits on my skin, the mosquito is also eating food.
But then, suppose, imagine we are sitting and eating food and somebody just comes and knocks it away. You know, and that’s what we do. If a mosquito comes, we knock it away.
It is just having its food. And that knocking away is if I am a kind person. You know, otherwise, I would just crush the mosquito.
Can you imagine what kind of, you are eating food and you are afraid somebody will just crush you. You know, it is quite unpleasant. Animal existence, although they love or hate these people meant to be defending, but defending is, Darwin got some things right.
One of them is that there is struggle for existence. And the animal species, the struggle is quite intense. So, there is the constant fear of destruction and devastation.
And to live, even eating, sleeping, waiting, you can’t really enjoy. So they are eating, but they are always looking there. So, it is quite a mistake of some kind.
Even trees, we may say their consciousness is less, but trees also struggle. They, can you imagine, they just live in and somebody comes and eats you up. And you can’t do anything.
You can’t even move away. At least in animals you can run away. A tree has enough consciousness to know that I am being consumed.
And I can’t do anything about it. So, both from the subjective and the objective perspective. The objective perspective will be reduced to such an existence where there is so little that one is capable of.
And from the subjective perspective, to even enjoy bodily pleasures in a state of constant fear and sometimes a state of endless suffering, that is a miserable state. And we, when we are human beings, we have that fortune to avoid all that suffering. And to attain everlasting happiness.
And that’s why we in the scriptures consider that from the human form, if one gets degraded down to a lower form, that is a catastrophe, that is a great tragedy that should not be, that we should always avoid. And in the little practice of bhakti, we can avoid that. So, in the practice of bhakti, we can also avoid that.
