Did God create humans to care for him as no other living beings care for him?
Hare Krishna Question Did God create human beings to care for him because no other living beings care for him dogs, cats they don't care for God only humans care for him so did God create human beings for that purpose answer no not at all this inference is a disastrously incorrect inference from a valid observation yes it is true that humans alone have the capacity to perceive God and then to worship him and the sub-human beings do not have that capacity but what is the reason for this it is because we humans alone have the developed spiritual consciousness to philosophize, think about the ultimate questions of life and thereby to think about the ultimate reality of life that is God so now why has God given us this capacity if we want to know something about God what is the way if we just go about by doing our own imagination, speculation then we may come to know that there is no God at all and we can say that even by evolution somehow human beings their genes are misfired that's why they have come up with the conception of God or we may say that only humans have an imagination developed enough to think about God and somehow that imagination has come about so we can come up with so many explanations but if you want to truly understand the purpose of creation and the purpose of creation of human beings specifically then we need to look at scripture and scriptures tell us that God is perfect and complete Om Poornamadah Poornamidam Naivad Naivad Manaham Nijiladha Poorno so the Lord is Poornam is said in the Vishuddhi Invocation also and there is also said in the the invocation of in the in the Bhagavatam in the prayers of Anuradha Maharaj so Poornam is complete he doesn't need anyone, he is self satisfied so of course he can relish greater and greater love through reciprocation with others but when the souls don't want to reciprocate he doesn't need them he can be satisfied independently but we need him when we connect with him that's when we get lasting happiness so those souls who don't want to connect with him they are given non-human bodies so that they don't have adequate consciousness developed by which they can perceive him and they can live in in God unconsciousness as they desire then over the process of spiritual evolution after many lifetimes the soul comes to the human form then they get the opportunity to perceive God so the capacity to perceive God in the human consciousness in the human form is a special blessing given by God to the human form by which one can understand God, one can love God and ultimately attain God attain eternal life and happiness in association with God that is life's supreme purpose so we human beings have to be given a privilege a special privilege to know and love God by which we can attain life's supreme success and that is not because he needs us it is because we need him and he has given us the facility to fulfill that facility is a highly developed consciousness so the observation is valid that only humans can perceive God but the inference is not that God alone that because God needs someone to care for him that's why he created humans if that were true then if God needed someone to care for then he could have created only human beings if his need is to care if the only purpose of creation was to fulfill his need then why create any other living beings at all so let's create the humans and populate the whole world with humans but there are so many other species so why has he created them so there are so many other questions coming up if we don't perceive properly through scripture scripture understand that the capacity to perceive God which is there in human form is a blessing of God that is not because of his neediness it is because of our neediness thank you.
