The body is the temple.

'Deho devalaya' - The body is the temple, it is said. You are going about with a temple, where God is in the innermost shrine. The body is not a mass of flesh and bone; it is a medium for mantras(sacred words or formulae) which save when meditated upon. It is a sacred instrument earned after long ages of struggle, equipped with reason and emotion, capable of being used for deliverance from grief and evil. Honour it as such and keep it in good condition, so that it might serve that high purpose; maintain it even more carefully than these brick houses, and always preserve the conviction that it is an instrument and nothing more. Use it for just the purpose for which it has been designed and given. 

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
