What does Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra say about the true purpose of human life, especially when compared to animals?

Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra delves into the philosophy of human existence, arguing that its true purpose is the attainment of the Supreme Self (Paramatman). The text pointedly asks what distinguishes humans from animals like dogs and pigs if life is spent only on basic activities like eating, sleeping, fear, and mating. As the chapter states, dogs also fill their bellies and reproduce. Therefore, it concludes that for a human birth to be useful and not wasted, one must pursue the realization of the Eternal. A human being is described as free and independent, and this freedom should be used for spiritual realization, which is presented as the true success of birth.
