Life has to pass through millions of births IE from plants -microcosms-insects -animals unto man(8.4 million times, to be a human) . Recent Biologic science estimated that there are about 8.4 millions of species on Earth.

Thoughts and inherited habits are held up in mental field like clouds floating on a monsoon-sky. When thoughts are thrown out, .the back-ground of higher mind is revealed. When greed and desires for material possessions or for sensual enjoyments are overcome, spiritual peace naturally settles within.
Sorrow and happiness are states of ignorant mind. They are deeply related to our material desire and attachments.and finally to our failure to get what we desire to gain or achieve.
For spiritual realisation we neither need idols nor rituals but only expanding consciousness and unitary feelings.
What we call waste or filth are also food for certain types of life.
