According to Chapter 8 of the Satcharitra, what is the true purpose of human life, and how is it distinguished from the lives of animals?

Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra posits that the true duty and purpose of human birth is the attainment of the Supreme Self, or Paramatman. The text argues that if life is spent only on basic activities like eating, sleeping, fear, and mating, it is essentially wasted. It draws a stark comparison to animals, stating that dogs and pigs also fill their bellies and reproduce. The chapter questions what greatness the human body holds if it is used for the same purposes as animals. Therefore, as explained in Chapter 8, true success in human life is found in realizing the Eternal, which sets us apart from mere survival.
