You pinch my body; I feel pain. Similarly, cats and dogs, they also feel pain or pleasure. So that is the proof of existence of the soul even in cats and dogs and human beings. The only difference is in the human form of life the consciousness is developed. So developed consciousness means to understand the Absolute Truth. That is the special function of the human being. Therefore the Vedānta-sūtra says, &amp;quot;Now this human form of life is meant for understanding the Absolute Truth, what is the original cause of everything.&amp;quot; Because there must be some cause. That is education. Just like your appearance is caused by your father. Your father&amp;#039;s appearance is caused by his father. Similarly you go on researching, his father, his father, his father... Then ultimately you will come to the original father, whom you call God, Kṛṣṇa, or whatever you call. There must be some original father. So the Vedānta-sūtra explains when the question is that what is the original cause of everything... What is Brahman? What is the Absolute Truth?

The next answer is janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]), means &amp;quot;The Absolute Truth is that from whom everything emanates,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;The Absolute Truth is the original cause of all causes.&amp;quot; This is the... So this knowledge, anyone who has knowledge, not only this knowledge, absolute knowledge as well as relative knowledge, such class of men is called the brāhmaṇas, the most intelligent class.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
