๐ป Verse: Kena margena … “O Lord, how does man, who occupies a body, become one with God? - 1 ๐ป
O Lord, I prostrate at your feet. Please shower your grace upon me. What is the method by which an ordinary man, who inhabits a body and experiences the results of his karma, becomes merged with the Supreme Soul while still residing in the body?” Is there any greater or more powerful transformation than that, than for man to transcend his human nature and turn into absolute divinity? We do not know how it has happened, but this body has come to us.
What is body? Since happiness and sorrow, heat and cold, cycles of karma, and series of births occur because of this body, it perhaps may be stated that all these constitute the body. All pains and pleasures are experienced by the body and hence, they all may be described as the body itself.
But, when the soul, which is none other than the Supreme Soul, descends into a body, should it not be aware that all these experiences belong to the body and not to the soul? Should it not retain the knowledge that the soul is not the body?
The soul that enters the body begins to identify itself with the body and as a result subjects itself to all kinds of miseries. When you feel, “I am this body, I am this nose; I am these ears; these hands and feet are mine; and this stomach is mine”, of course, all their pains become your pains.
When you keep thinking, “Me, me, me”, it is natural that when troubles come, you will keep thinking, “They are mine, they are mine, they are mine.” “Oh, why did I get into this difficulty?
O God, how will I endure this pain? How will I free myself from this misery?” If you experience and express such pains, it means that out of your affinity and love for the body you feel that your body should be spared from all such discomforts.
