| THOUGHT FOR THE DAY | |
Do not get attached to this evanescent body; instead, utilise it as an implement. Consider yourself as separate from the perishable body that was created out of the conjunction of the five elements. Know yourself as the indestructible Atma. Just as the house in which you dwell is separate from you, so too, the body in which you dwell for a little while is separate from you. The body is the root cause of all grief. Make it obey your will; never bow down to it and follow its whims. Keep it under strict control. It should be used as a boat to cross the stream of life. In other words, until the Ultimate Truth is attained, you must take care of your body to see that it does not get damaged. Take moderate food of Sathwic (pure) quality at the correct time, and continue with the disciplined physical activities for the body. | |
