No animal can ask questions about God, but humans can. Dogs may go to a temple or eat the remnants of sanctified food, but their capacity to understand and relish spiritual life is limited. Humans have the rare opportunity in this life to experience the divine gift of God consciousness. Our beloved teacher and spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains that this K???a or God consciousness is sublime and everyone can take part in it. The process is simple. Simply by chanting Hare K???a Hare K???a K???a K???a Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare one can experience spiritual bliss. One can chant and dance in ecstasy with this Maha-Mantra, the great chant for deliverance and even a dog can take part in it. In the spiritual texts of Sri Caitanya Caritamrta (Adi 10.1-2) it is said: “Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. If even a doggish non-devotee somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower.” In the purport it is explained: “Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s sa?kirtana movement is so strong that even a doglike non-devotee can gradually become a devotee by the association of a devotee of Lord Caitanya. Srila Sivananda Sena, a great householder devotee of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, attracted a dog on the street while going to Jagannatha Puri. The dog began to follow him and ultimately went to see Caitanya Mahaprabhu and was liberated. Similarly, cats and dogs in the household of Srivasa ?hakura were also liberated. Cats and dogs and other animals are not expected to become devotees, but in the association of a pure devotee they are also delivered.”
