The teachings of true saints tell us to get rid of the vicious cycle of transmigration and to attain salvation through meditation and contemplation when we are gifted with human birth. We are engaged in enjoying bodily pleasures and are killing ourselves with our own hands. This lands us in misery and ailments. We are hurled into the veritable hell and the wheel of transmigration continues endlessly. The saints are fully aware of the conditions of this world and the world hereafter. They are conscious of the deplorable condition which we have to face after death. They take pity upon our miserable plight. They advise us that human birth is most precious and we should benefit by it.

The true saint teaches us that the God is nowhere outside but it is inside our body, and we can discover it through meditating the sacred words (naamdaan) bestowed by the true saint. Instead of the temple and mosques of stones and bricks built with our own hands, we should respect the true temple or mosque (the human body) erected by the lord in which he himself resides.

SEARCH FOR THE GOD INSIDE THE BODY

All the spiritual and true saints advocated searching for the lord within the temple of human body.

Dadu Sahib says:

“The lord is manifest in the temple or mosque of the body. Practice devotion and meditation inside. Why do you wander outside?”

Guru Amar Das ji says:

“The human body is the temple of God.

Within it one finds rubies and pearls,

If one utters the Lord’s Name by the guru’s grace.”

God has created the universe. He is the Lord of all. He does not reside in the manmade temples and mosques. He is inside us and through meditation we can unlock the doors to meet him.
