We are Borne why ? We have come here for certain work.

We shall have to do it. Afterward we shall have to go to our permanent House. By remembering God, we realize Him. That is true work. Work is worship when the sole frame of reference is the soul, the vibrant God’s name within our heart.

Every bit of work is worship. But the moment any kind of work grips our consciousness as the one thing indispensable and is stems the tide of our life, it is invested with the multiple nuances and derives of our ego and lacks spirituality.
Without this human body no other world divinities can taste His Love. In the body of a person resides Supreme Truth LORD KRISHANA is worshipped as a Paramyogi, a Sannyasi and a wise man. He is also a romantic lover, a shrewd warrior and a benevolent savior – all in one! This may be the reason why the Hindus worship him as the Purnavtar, a total incarnation of God on earth. No other incarnation of God is so much endowed with such diverse qualities as Krishna. All shades and colors of life – mischievous play fullness of a child, flirtatious romance of young man and ultimate maturity of a wise old man – meet in Krishna and they create a wide spectrum of colors, that has been attracting all kinds of artists, dancers, musicians, poets, writers and other creative people. The very meaning of his name Krishna is the element that attracts and pulls. Krishna is a magnetic force.

He is a perfect example of Maha Dhyani-(Greatest Mediator) who is equally comfortable and fully centered when he is surrounded by his 16000 Pretty  Gopis and particularly when he is in the middle of an epic war. He is totally relaxed and playful in all these extreme situations and takes life as a cosmic Leela, an ultimate dance of existence, which the poets have described as Raas. “This word raas is very beautiful: it means the divine celebration, the divine dance. In this interplay of energies, which are Raas, Krishna and his milkmaids cease to be individuals, they move as pure energies.

And this dance of male and female energies together brings deep contentment and bliss; it turns into an outpouring of joy and bliss. Raising from Krishna’s Raas this bliss expands and permeates every fiber of the universe. Although Krishna and his girlfriends are no more with us as people, the moon and the stars under which they danced together are still with us, and so are the trees and the earth and the skies that were once so drunk with the bliss of the raas. Although millennia have passed, the vibes of the maha-raas are still with us. “If someone goes to dance on the grounds where Krishna once danced with his Gopis he can hear the echoes of the Maha- Raas. If someone plays a flute near the hills that in the music of Krishna’s flute, he can hear those hills echoing it, everlastingly. In my view, Raas symbolizes the outpouring of the primeval energy as it is divided between man and women. And if we accept this definition, the Rass is as relevant today as it was in the times of Krishna. Then it is everlastingly relevant.”

So the body is to be treated as His Temple and taken care of. Only for performing the bodily duties has the riches of the body been given. Eat, drink, do everything, but remember Him, Who is inside the body. To move according to nature is the safe course.

We have come here to do all sorts of acting. We have come here as a guest. We have taken our body as a temporary place to enjoy God in the Maya (Creative force of God manifests in ever-changing nature)! We have come to taste it! But we have become otherwise engaged. Be always with God’s name then the objective with which we have come here will be realized.

We are here with this body. Just maintain the body, nothing else. Body is not ours. We have taken that body the temple of God as a temporary place to enjoy Him in the (God’s creative force which manifests in nature, and therefore God’s grace to us). When we have come here, we have come here with mind senses, desire and attachments. We shall have to give something to them. If we stop everything, they will revolt.

To be born with human form in this mortal world has only one happy object. That is the relish the joy of God’s Love. Only it is the tendency of human mind to run under the compulsion of innumerable allurements and attachments. But even being involved in them what a Supreme blessing is this human birth. How ineffably is this world filled with beauty and flavor! We have come to taste it! But we have become otherwise engaged. Be always with God’s name then the objective with which we have come here will be realized. Now the question is always arises in the mind of a person! Where did I come from?
