Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Namaste Vandanaji, Please don't mind this Ozzie galah It was just a figure of speech from a certain perspective, kinda hard to explain but shall try: The body is but a vessel, a receptacle, impermanent, a physical shell that houses one's soul. That which is the soul, is not the body. That which is the body is not the soul. The body is also called "Temple of the Soul". In certain disciplines, it is also called a "Shava", meaning "corpse", the useless 'vessel' if it does not contain a soul. (Its like "the lights are on but there's nobody home".) Some may consider the 'shava' to be useless other than accommodating a soul within, that which observes or even engages in the leela (play) of maya (illusion) that is everyday "life" and impermanent. The soul is also within and without. Hope I'm making sense.. Nevertheless, thank you sincerely for your kind and loving words Vandanaji. Yourself and all siblings here are gems who are deeply treasured. Any Maa devotees, Aghoris, Nathas and Traditional Tantrikas etc. here? Perhaps friends from these Paths will be able to better explain what I was trying to get at. Right now, can't seem to find the right expressions so please pardon me. Wishing you all of life's blessings, By Lord Ganesha's Grace may you rise from strength to strength, With love Simone , v992003 <no_reply> wrote: > Dear Simoneji > > Please don't say you are useless.
