I shall give you a small example. Once went to God . asked , “You are always wandering in all the three worlds. Did you see any strange thing in this creation of mine? Please tell me if you have seen such a thing at any time.” Then said, “Lord you think that there is no mean thing or an impious thing in this world, but I have seen many impious things and also many mean things in this world. There is no place at all in this world where they are not seen.” Then asked: “ I s there something unholy and mean in the creation that was done by me?” replied, “Every day, every person as soon as he wakes up, will be excreting or reject matter. Is there anything more unsacred than this?” Then said, “Oh! , are you considering that as unsacred? No, it is not unsacred, it is good.” Then said, “If I say that the excreta is sacred and also good, people will certainly admit me in a mental hospital.” Then asked him, “You go and ask the excreta itself.” He had no other work and he was always wandering in the world and so uttering the name of Lord , he went to ask this question of that itself. When he was going near it, the excreta told him, “Oh! , don’t come near me.” Then thought that he should have asked that foul matter to be at a distance but instead the foul matter itself was asking him to keep away. He felt that he was the son of and was such a great sage that the foul matter treating him like that was strange. From a distance, he addressed the excreta and said, “You are very dirty, what is the meaning in asking me to get away from you?” Then he got the reply; “Last night I was in the shape of an apple, I was in the shape of a sweet, I was in the shape of good rice and I was in the shape of so many good things, but as soon as I entered the body of man, I got such a mean state. When I entered man’s body only once, my state has become like this; if I have some relationship with man again, how meaner will be my state?” The nature of this human body is like that; it will make impure anything, however good it is. We know even a flour mill behaves better. If we put rice on the top of that, then rice flour will come. If we put wheat on the top, wheat flour will come. If we pour any other kind of grain, the flour of that grain will come. But in the mill of our body, if we put fruits, will be coming. If we put pickles in a jar, it will be preserved for at least one year, but if we put anything in this body, it will become dirty in less than twelve hours. Even in so dirty a body, there is a possibility of seeing pure . If we try sincerely, we shall be able to see in the impure body, the pure or the Supreme Being. If we want to keep our jewels safely, we put them in an iron safe. The jewels that are put inside are very valuable but the box is not as valuable as they are. If we put valuable jewels in a valuable box, thieves will take away the valuable box and the jewels, also, along with it. So it is natural and also safe that valuable jewels should be put in a box that is not very valuable. The is pure and very valuable. We are putting such a jewel in this box of a body, which is not very valuable. We must never forget that we have taken this box for the sake of protecting the jewel. We must always remember the main and only reason for which God gave us this body. If there are no good ideas in the body, what is the use of this body? Even the thieves will throw off the box, after taking the jewels. We must always remember that this box, the body, is for the sake of the jewels, namely God and all the good qualities, divine virtues, associated with Him.
