Question: Why Do Humans Act Like Animals?

Dear Gurudeva,
My humble obeisances to you.
 
My question is: Even though a human being has the most intelligence to distinguish between good and evil, why is he still behaving like an animal? Is it because of his past karma that he is forced to do so?

Answer: Bad Association. Now Change It.

It is only due to bad association with materialistic men that a human being behaves like an animal. This is why is it very important to avoid worldly association as much as possible and take complete shelter of the association of the Lord's devotees. This transcendental association will make it very easy for one to realize the true purpose of his human form of life, to reawaken the dormant love of God that is sleeping inside of his heart.
