‘THE BODY IS A TEMPLE KEEP IT PURE AND CLEAN FOR THE SOUL TO RESIDE IN’

Temple is a pious place for conduct of religious and spiritual activities. Imagine, if we start treating our body like a temple, thereby providing the required piety for our soul and mind.

Our temples provide the requisite environment by virtue of being a clean and well-kept place of worship, with suitable decoration to suit respective aesthetics. The same is required of our body, a gift from God, to be kept in a manner, clean from inside and out ; that it provides the correct environment for one’s soul and mind to find peace and provide contentment.

We often take our body for granted, we forget our capacities and limit ourselves, thereby creating unsuitable conditions for us to discover or locate our inner power. We can learn to control our mind thereby enabling the mind to be in control of our body and not the other way round.

A visit to a temple is sought to seek good health, prosperity, wealth and peace from the almighty. God has given you all the resources to achieve the same, you just need to find the ways to find them. Clean your soul, workout, go for a walk, take care of your body because God is within us.

To end, few lines from Kabir-

Oh, follower, where do you search me?

I am always with you

Not in pilgrimage, nor in statues

Neither in solitude

Not in temples, nor in the mosque

Neither in the Kabha nor in Kailash

I am with you , oh follower.

It is not too late, take care of your body!!
