The human body is a temple chariot; the Aathma (divinity) is installed therein; and it is dragged by emotions, impulses, passions and urges along the streets of desire. Success and failure, joy and grief, gain and loss, are the dancers who accompany this procession of Life. Here, too, many pour their attention only on the chariot, its height, its decoration and its progress. Many others are concerned with the dance of dualities, the pain-pleasure duet, that is part of the procession. Few pay attention to the Aathma, the Crown and Consummation of human existence...But, sages and saints have known that the most noteworthy achievement of the senses of man is the glorification of the God within.
