We did not come here to enjoy life without understanding that our Senses that we try to satisfy through the nine outer portals, are responsible for our setbacks, because the Mind whose role was to control the Senses as become their slave. Why ?
God does not live anywhere else on earth but in us. Failing to make the body his Temple his Sanctuary, we should at least consider it a real clean house, until we can treat it like a palace, knowing that all we do is to please him.
We should not eat to please our palate, use our senses and our faculties in general to the understanding of human existence. All this can be done easily by being sincere in our quest for knowledge, not spiritual one, since we are already spiritual beings, just doing a physical and material experience. We were made to understand that only, not the opposite and we missed the truth.
We take for granted what has no real value for us. ” Ecclesiastes to say: Vanity of vanities, all is vanity ” we had not believed it. We give importance to anything except to our body which, even when it should be considered part of all the vanities mentioned above, deserves more respect until we go out by the tenth door or the single door by opening the single eye which the eye of the soul that will make the body a glorious one.
Christ sayd: “So if your eye is unique, your whole body will be enlightened. Mat. 6: 22
Note, He did not speak of the eyes, but of the EYE. Only a True Master can open this EYE.
That should be our only goal, to open that eye that would change our body of flesh into a glorious body.
