Human body is considered to be the best (door way to Divinity):

‘labdhva sudurlabhamidam bahusambhavante’ (Srimad Bhagavata 11.9.29)

God, Who showers grace without cause,confers human body by His utter mercifulness and kind grace:

Kabahuka Kari Karuna nara dehi,

deta isa binu hetu sanehi. (Manasa,Uttara 44.3)

As God has by mere compassion and grace given us the human frame, so also whatever circumstance He has given us is also given by Grace. Whether our actions are good or otherwise, whatever kind of actions we have done, is of little concern! The important thing is that the dispenser of their fruits is our supremely Dear Friend - ‘Suhrdam sarvabhutanam‘ (Gita 5/29).

From worldly view-point, circumstance is of two kinds: pleasure-yielding and pain-yielding. But, from spiritual point of view, the circumstance is not of two kinds. To them who love to have God-realization, there are no two kinds of circumstance. For, God has given this human body only for His realization, has conferred the circumstance also for that very realization. Therefore, whatever nature of circumstance we have obtained- whether the most favourable of the favourable circumstances or the most unfavourable of the unfavourable circumstances or the circumstance of mixed nature i.e., favourable-cum-unfavourable circumstance - it is only meant for our spiritual welfare. Whatever nature of the circumstance is made available, it is merely the instrument of God-realization - ’sadhana dhama moccha kara dvara’ (Manas, Uttara 43/4).

He who is a ‘Bhogi‘ i.e., a seeker of sensual pleasures, to him the circumstance is of dual nature: pleasure-yielding and pain-yielding. In Yogi’s view, however circumstance is never of two sorts.

For accomplishment of spiritual well-being, an unfavourable circumstance is far better than the favourable circumstance.  

Why is it better?
