I agree with devotee ji,
If we all seek god in the statues made up of clay (earth element) then why can't we see him in dog? Who is also made up of 5 elements, senses (jnanedriya and karmedriya), gunas, consciousness (chetanā) which all forms prakriti and along with purusha which is soul resides in him.. Then if we look, dog contain more element than statue as dog is alive and have soul.. We have to do ritual to call Brahman in statue (pran-pratishta) but he is already present in dog as a form of soul (also in statue as he is omnipresent).. We say that we are form of Brahman but if we reborn as low creature then we are not Brahman?
Yes, human is supreme than dog and others as his intellectual powers, mind and brain may strong than other creature.. He has the power to learn, power to progress in spirituality.. So there is difference in realisation, gunas, samskaras and karmas but not in Brahman.. He is omnipresent.. Only difference is that when soul realised and evolve spiritualy then he merge in him means gunas, prakriti, Maya and samskras is not there.. To hide the true knowledge..
Don't take it as offence.. But to see truth we have to flow opposite to dhāra (stream) and become radha and to see dog as a god we again have to flow opposite!
Pranam..
