An
empty iron box gets valued when it contains jewels. So too the body
will be honoured when it contains the jewel of Divine consciousness and
the gems called virtues. Life has to be lived through for the
opportunities it provides to unfold human values. Otherwise one becomes a
burden upon earth, a mere consumer of food. Life is a steady march
towards the goal; it is not a meaningless term of imprisonment or a
casual picnic. Even if you have no steady faith in God or in any
particular Name or Form of that Immanent Power, start by controlling the
vagaries of the mind, the pulls of the ego, and the attractions of
sense-attachments. Be helpful to others; then your conscience itself
will appreciate you and keep you happy and content, though others may
not thank you.
