Graces of God!
There are many forms of grace, but three of them are considered to be of great significance: attaining a human birth, having a desire for God-realization, and meeting a saint. If we could realize the significance of human birth, it would not even take a day to attain God. The human body is so important that even Indra, the king of heaven, who is worshipped by human beings, desires to be born as a human himself. The human body is a very complex machine and there is no other body as complex as that of a human. We strive to maintain a very healthy body, yet suffer from many an ailment due to improper habits and the prevailing environment. In addition, an average human suffers innumerable miseries as a resullt of illness and death of loved ones. It is amazing how we humans are able to continue living. However, there is a wonderful power that we humans possess - knowledge.
jñānaṁ hi teṣhāṁ adhikaḥ
There is no other creature, with the exception of celestial Gods in heaven that can match the faculty of knowledge that we human beings possess. We have the power to comprehend who we are, the nature of our body, this world, God, bliss, sorrow, etc. We can inquire into what causes sorrow, and how to eliminate the root cause of all sorrows. We have the power to understand and take the appropriate steps to find the cure. Countless fellow humans, like Tulsidas, Kabirdas, Meera, Nanak and Tukaram, have accomplished this. It is the gift of knowledge that gives immense significance and value to the human body.

Is asking for uncoditional love of God bad?
श्याम मोहि देहु प्रेम निष्काम ।
इंद्रहुँ संपति लहि इन इंदि्रन मिटत न कैसेहूँ काम ।
मन अति चपल चपलताहूँ ते चलत रहत बसुयाम ।
हौं हरायों समुझाय विविध विधि नहि मानत गति बाम ।
रसिकन कही मानि अब तुम्हरी शरण गही घनश्याम ।
ब्रज रह देहु पिलाय 'कृपालिहंु' भटकत थकि गय पाम ॥
(Prem Ras Madira)
In this padh, a soul is asking Shree Krishna for His unconditional love. It is said that we shouldn't ask for anything from God, but why we are asking for His love? Is asking for unconditional love of God bad? Swamiji explains the intriguing philosophy.
