What is the significance of the relationship between the body and the Life Principle? Bhagawan explains with an endearing example.

The world is a gigantic play designed and directed by the Lord to instil in man a sense of awe, reverence, and wonder, so that, drawn by its beauty, charm, and mystery, he is enabled to visualise the source of all this beauty, all this exhilaration, and all this enticing mystery. Meera asked her mother as a tiny girl, "Mother! We are playing a game. The other girls have all given out the names of the man each will wed; who is to be my husband, tell me? I must tell them his name?" When she worried her for some time, the mother blurted out, "This Giridhar, installed in this shrine, He is your husband. Go." Meera dedicated herself to the Lord Giridhar (Krishna) from that moment and saw everywhere, at all times, only His complexion and His compassion. The body is the bridegroom for the Life principle, which is the bride; this is the wedlock in every life. As the body enfolds, guards, and fosters life, the Lord maintains the vital principle enshrined in man, so that it may realise Him.
