What is the relationship between the body and the Lord? Why is it important to understand this? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today!

The human body is precious. Man today is not realising what he owes to his body. The body that is composed of the five elements, which has been given to man to understand his true nature, to recognise the truth about his immortal Spirit, and to experience the eternal within him, is being used for the enjoyment of physical pleasures. The body surely has not been given for this purpose. The body is a kshetra (shrine). The Indweller is the Kshetrajna (Knower). The relationship is that of sharira (body) and the shariri (Indweller). Instead of recognising this integral relationship, man is concerned with only the body and seeks to realise the Divine. How is this possible? The first requisite is for man to acquire the firm conviction that the Divine dwells in his heart. There is no need to search for the Divine elsewhere. There is no need to go to a forest and lead an austere life to experience the Divine who is within each one. When man turns his vision inward he can experience eternal Bliss.
