Passage 6

In English

Human Body Is The Reflection Of The Divine

Human body is like the temple of God which encases the divine . The body can stay in one position for a long time but if one wants to run, one has to exert quite a lot. On the other hand, the mind moves very fast; one needs a lot of effort to make it steady and quiet. The spiritual seeker needs to develop equipoise between the body and the mind. Therefore, it is necessary to make the mind stable and strengthen the body by physical activity. Man is the repository of infinite power. Human body is like a powerful magnet full of divine attraction. The mind is like the radio or television which can be tuned to a multiplicity of channels. In fact, all divine powers in Nature are there in the human body which is a reflection of the Divine. But man today wastes a lot of his divine power by indulging in talking and listening to many impure things, which lead to mental agitation and emotional imbalance. Moreover, man wastes his valuable time by talking and listening about all that is unnecessary for him. Bad talk leads to evil thoughts and agitates the senses. This is not only harmful for the person who indulges in such evil practices but affects all those with whom he interacts. How can you save yourself from impure and unsacred things in the world? Do not indulge in bad talk, do not listen to bad talk and do not perform bad actions. Desist from indulging in these evil practices by talking less and by running away from bad company. Only then can you experience divine bliss.
