Man does not live long. However in this short span of life he has the ability to experience divine bliss. Two people might appear ostensibly made of the same mould. Their limbs might look alike. Nevertheless, one could turn out to be an angel and another a beast. What is the reason for this? Looking at their behaviour, it is hard to believe that both of them belong to the same community. Therefore, primarily behaviour is important for man. Each and every moment, human life may superficially appear to be simple but truly it is not so; there is a great meaning inherent in it. The entire life is a great act of sacrifice or yajna karma. If the sleep that one enjoys after offering all the experiences of the day to the Lord in a spirit of surrender, is not Samadhi then what else is it? Because of the all pervasive feeling of “I am the Body”, man, without discrimination, explores various ways to boost his physical being. Therefore, instead of thinking day and night about the body, preserve it only for the purpose of serving all living beings with Trikarana shuddhi - purity of thought, word and deed, so that you can realize the Higher Self, as you are not the body but the Atma.
