Body is the temple

Body is the temple

One simply is. One is not doing anything. No thinking. No one is feeling anything. This ishness is the Ultimate Experience of bliss!

Beyond this there is nothing!

This is eternal search.

You have arrived home. This is Meditation!

MEDITATION: THE WAY TO SELF REALIZATION BY TAOSHOBUDDHA

Y

our body is the temple wherein dwells the shrine of God. Love your body and respect it. And one day through this temple you will encounter the God within. Thus inner center is created.

Your body is manifest creation. And soul is the un-manifest creation.  Body is visible. And soul is invisible and un-manifest. Both visible and invisible stay together. It is the harmony of the manifest and un-manifest that creates inner balance. And inner balance manifests itself in the outer realm as enlightenment.

Out of this inner balance wafts the fragrance of the being or soul. You can be this fragrance. And then something will spring forth from within.

Both body and the soul are the part of one harmony. They are the part of one whole.

Out of the whole evolves the whole. Qualitatively, just as both drop and the ocean are same so too is the whole and that evolves out of the whole.

Totality alone is. Feel it within. Feel its harmony! And its rhythm as well!

Accept the body. Love your body. Respect it. And be grateful to it. Body is the most complex mechanism in existence. It is simply marvelous. When your body is the temple then treat it as temple not as garbage bin. You carry the selected food items to be offered to the God in the temple. However both temple and God are outside. This you remember. But you have forgotten the inner temple and inner God. And you continue to treat this miracle of God – body and the god within as insignificant.

This realization comes only through meditation. Meditation gives you the awareness that God dwells within you in the temple of God not in the outer temple.

You forgot the temple created by God and its miracle nature and you go on cherishing the outer temple and outer Gods. No outer temple or outer God that you cherish can convert ice-cream into blood. Certainly the temple that God gave you as your body has the capability to convert ice-cream into blood instantaneously.

Meditation makes you aware of this body as the gift of God and the God enshrined within as being.

In the absence of awareness you continue to treat body as garbage bin and stuff it with the food that cannot be offered to outer temple and outer God.

Begin with a feeling of AWE! And Wonder! With your body and its mechanism! Body is closest. You know this. This you can feel and touch as well. So begin with that which is closer to you.

Through the body existence has come closest to you. Through your body God has approached you.

Your body contains the water of the oceans! Fire of the stars and the sun as well! As life force or ‘Prana Vayu’ air constitutes your body. Your body is made of earth.

Your body represents all the elements of which existence is composed of. Indeed What a transformation! What a metamorphosis! Look at the earth and now look at your body. What a transformation! And you have never marveled.

Dust has become divine. What greater mystery can there be? What greater miracle can there be? This you cannot envision. You are only interested in petty miracles.

Each finite moment existence happens as miracle. A speck of dust becomes divine as your body. Out of mud blossoms the divine beauty as a flower. A dew drop slips from the lotus leaf to dissolve in the lake.

Out of mud has evolved your beautiful body.

This is the miracles of the unknown. Be open to this. Open your eyes to witness this. A new vision awaits thee!!!

This is not your realization yet that is why you have made your body a cemetery that contains the dead.

Introspect!!

Seek MEDITATION because it leads to ULTIMATE FLOWERING!
