Instantaneous transcendence is the reason humans are such a desirable birth according to the old school Hindu/Buddhist beliefs.

Better to be born a Human and live 100 years - it's the best chance at getting out of this trap. Being born a dirty would mean several hundred thousand millennia of divine life - thats going to manifest forgetting, by the end the next rebirth is almost always lower.

Animals have thousands of births per form.

Only a human can be born an ignorant savage animal person and in less than 100 years become a Buddha and transcend existence.

That's a lot of the fish analogies in early Christianity and earlier - we all get out, but it takes forever for some of us, God is always looking for the next one of us that's grown big enough to become "a big fish" - "chosen easily from all the rest"
