You have been endowed with enormous immeasurable talents, skills and powers. But you are using all that to journey towards a poor satellite of the Earth, instead of using it to journey towards the wonderland of your own inner realms; where you can come face to face with God, who is your Inner Reality, the Inner Reality of indeed this entire phenomenal world you so admire. Your body is but a boat, an instrument, for crossing the sea of change, that you have earned through the merit of many generations. When you have crossed the sea, you realise the Dweller in the dwelling. That is the purpose of the body. So even when the body is strong and skilled, even while the intellect is sharp and your mind very alert, you must make every effort to seek the Dweller (Dehi) within your own human body (Deha).

- Divine Discourse, Aug 3, 1966.
