What is the goal of all the spiritual exercises we undertake with this physical body? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today!
Always think that God is present in this temple of body, and whatever you do is an offering to Him. It is only when you develop such sacred feelings will your body and the antahkarana (inner instruments) be sanctified. Therefore, transform your dehabhimana (body attachment) into Atmabhimana (attachment to the Self). This is the real sadhana. Without developing Atmabhimana, there is no point in doing any other sadhana. People say, we are doing bhajans. Till you attain the state of Atmabhimana, all such spiritual practices are essential. When you plant a sapling of a good-quality mango tree, after some time, it gives unripe mangoes. So long as the mangoes are not ripe, they taste sour. Only when they become ripe do they become sweet and tasty. Likewise, when you attain the ripe stage in your sadhana, you develop Atmic feelings. Till you attain such a state of blessedness, continue to discharge your duties without forgetting your goal. Always remind yourself that you have to reach this goal. Gradually, detach yourself from the body and develop attachment to the Self. Only then can you experience eternal bliss. Pursue this path of truth and wisdom and immerse yourself in divine bliss.
