Bhāvanā ( Anuprekṣā) Sūtra
2. Dharma can be practised only in human form. (Hence human life should be utilised properly).
Su. Kr. Sü. 1.15.15
3. Wake up man! Birth in lower existences is full of fear. Hence, understand the rarity of human birth and seek selfrealisation. The universe is full of sorrow and sufferings like a man caught by fever. An ingnorant person seeking happiness from his deeds (violence etc.) meets only with misery.
Sū. Kr. Sū. 1.7.11
4. A person who does not utilise well his human birth cannot acquire it once again. Without the human form, enlightenment is difficult. Neither can he get such mental disposition which will be appropriate for practising right conduct.

3. One should practise Dharma before old age creeps up, the senses become feeble and he falls a prey to all kinds of diseases.
