ooze out of it? You could not even bear to look at it, you would become detached from it. It is nothing but a mass of pus, blood and flesh. To the Gnani Purush this is clearly visible. The Gnani sees everything exactly as it is and that is why the Gnani remains detached from it. Infinite lives have been spent having attachment for this body and the reward for this has been the perpetual cycle of birth and death. Just once become attached to the Soul, and become a vitaragi and you will make up for the loss of all the past infinite life cycles.
What kind of a body should you have? Your body should be such that it becomes a vehicle for liberation. You should acquire the ultimate body (charam sharira).
Your body is made of nothing but an accumulation of atoms. Whatever you experience in this body is the direct result of the kind of atoms you have been in company of.
All birds, animals and plants live to serve humans, whereas humans live for themselves. Despite this the Lord says that the human form is worthy of a 'darshan' even by the celestial beings. If one understands this, one can get one's work done.
Purpose Of Human Life Who in this world knows the purpose of the human life? Why does one attain a human life? As such no one has a clue. People believe they can enjoy themselves in life. They pray to God, practice yoga, do penance and renunciation. But in reality the human body is acquired to purge oneself of one's past mistakes and misdeeds and settle past accounts. This body has been acquired to settle each and every circumstances that arise, with equanimity and to realize the Self.
Kavi has written : 'The body that you have acquired, is to rid your misdeeds,
The veil of karma need to be shed to see God.'
Thought, Speech and Action Thought, speech and action are all fleeting and changing. All You have to do is know what kind of thoughts are occurring. You are not responsible for thoughts that come. Thoughts are merely sprouting of tubers you had created in your previous life and that is why they come forth now and this is precisely why you are not responsible for them in this life. But if you were to endorse them again in this life, then you will incur a tremendous liability.
The Self is still and unchanging. Whereas thoughts, speech and action, are transient and changing. Motion is inherent in thoughts, speech and action. That which materializes in the physical form is action. That which springs within is the thought and that which is vocalized is speech. If these three remain in equilibrium and within normality, it is called motion in balance (sanchaar). This is the reason one is asked to maintain normality in the worldly conduct.
In Satyug only thoughts became defiled, not speech or actions. In this era, Kaliyug, all three are defiled. You can get by with a defiled mind but not so with defiled speech or action. If all three are defiled, the speech that emanate from a person will be very adversary and reactionary. Whatever comes out will be nothing but refuse. Through the impact of Gnan one's ruined extemal conduct ultimately comes to an end. The conduct of the body must be pure. The thoughts of the mind and the content of speech will undergo changes. There is a great risk if the physical conduct is tainted. Even the celestial beings will give you misery. Good conduct pleases the celestial and reigning Gods and Goddesses.
What causes a person's external conduct to be bad? It is because of failure to find happiness from the extemal world. The extemal conduct improves as one acquires the infinite bliss within
