In plain words
But with what is material we cannot attain the supreme principle at all. All these belong to pravṛtti. But what we must know is nivṛtti. My body is visible to all. I think, ‘I am a human body.’ So you take the body to be of the human kind. What kind is the skin? What kind is the blood? What kind are the bones? What kind is your hair? What kind is the air? What kind is the sky? What kind is water? What kind is fire? There is no kind at all. You call the body the human kind, but what kind is the skin of your body? For Skin, the skin kind; for flesh, the flesh kind; for bone, the bone kind. For man, the human kind. But what is this human kind? That is the true, the divine kind. Taking the body as the base and the indweller as the ideal, we must try to proclaim this to the world. The body is the kṣetra; the indweller is the kṣetrajña. Just because you travel in a car, you are not the car. You are the driver. The car is one thing, the driver another. Your body is the car. The indweller is the driver. That very indweller is the God of gods. We must recognise, at least in some measure, that principle of the God of gods.
The body is made of the five elements; the body must fall some day; the indweller is free of all ill; consider it, and for the indweller birth and death, the marks of the fetters of moha, are not there; see it truly: that indweller is the God of gods, the very Ātma, if you weigh it in your mind!
That very indweller is the God of gods. But in this modern age people give importance to the body alone and forget the indweller. That itself is the cause of sorrow. That itself is the cause of pain. That itself is the cause of hardship. That itself is the cause of grief. If we want to live in Śānti always, we must try to recognise the principle of the body. This is not to be gained by any other path, only by Prema for God.
