Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Ones material body is destined to remain - TopicsExpress



          

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam Ones material body is destined to remain intact for only a short time, and so it is called kulāyam, subject to dissolving into the earth (kau līyate). Nonetheless, if properly utilized it can be ones best friend. When one is immersed in material consciousness, however, the body becomes a false friend, distracting the bewildered living entity from his true self-interest. Persons too much infatuated with their own bodies and those of their spouses, children, pets and so on are in fact misdirecting their devotion to the worship of illusion, asad-upāsanā. In this way, as the śrutis state here, such people commit spiritual suicide, insuring future punishment for failing to carry out the higher responsibilities of human existence.
