The Body is the Temple of God -- Meditation is Entering Within the Temple

The Body is the Temple of God -- Meditation is Entering Within the Temple

The body is the Lord's seat.
It is a temple.
It is the vehicle and it alone determines one's caste.
Burn the incense,
light the candle
and make offering of food to the Lord
within the body itself.
Worship Him within thy body.
Seeking within the body [meditation],
one finds priceless treasure.
One neither gains nor loses anything here.
One should sing the Lord's Name.
Whatever is in Brahmand (the macrocosm) exists
in the Pind (the microcosm [of the body]),
and whoever seeks, will find it.
Pipa pays obeisance to the Supreme Being
whose secret the Satguru alone can give out.
