Your Body will Give You Answer

A spiritual discourse on the sacredness and impermanence of the human body.

"God has placed nothing in this body that does not function. The Creator did not put anything in this body that is not useful."

"This body is a very precious diamond. It is very fragile. Till now, no one in this world could make a body like this, only one, and that is Mother Nature, a heavenly architect."

The speaker delivers a teaching, personifying the body in a dialogue with its owner. He cautions against unnecessary medical interventions like tonsillectomy, arguing every part has a purpose. The core theme is the body's natural aging and eventual retirement, framed as a consequence of both natural design and personal neglect through poor lifestyle choices. He concludes by emphasizing the body's divine fragility and uniqueness.

God has placed nothing in this body that does not function. The Creator did not put anything in this body that is not useful. Nowadays, when a child is born, they remove the tonsils. That is not good. Perhaps someone may develop an infection after some time, but that does not mean everyone will have infections. Nor does it mean there is no alternative treatment. Therefore, removing the tonsils is not advisable. When the child is healthy, the tonsils are healthy. Every limb, part, and function of the body will slowly, slowly retire. Your body will give you an answer; your body will say to you, "My dear friend, now I am tired, I cannot help you anymore." You said, "Why? I want to live." The body said, "Yes, you will live; you will not die. Only I cannot help you anymore. You will get a beautiful, young, new body when you are born. They will love you more then than now, my friend. I am tired. One after another, functions in the body are slowing down." And still you said, "But I do not want to give up." It said, "Yes, it is your attachment." "I also do not want to separate from you. Then why so quickly?" "Yes, my friend, you did not take care of me. You abused me. You did what you wanted to do. You know what you ate? What did you drink? When did you go to sleep? How late were you sleeping? You were doing so many different things. Hardly did you close your eyes and think of me. Oh, my body, only for your selfishness you sit in front of the mirror, and you did not like me, so you took some color and brush and tried to make me stupid here and here. And here, who put the lipstick? This lady is always talking, 'Yes, how are you? No? Yes. Oh, yes.'" So the body said, "Okay, then go to the artificial body." So, dear one, sooner or later, this body will also have a rest. You remember, Friday evening I told you one nice poem? "Māṭī, kehe, kumhārku, tūn kia rondem oj? Ek dīn esā āegā, mē rundungī toj." The clay was telling the potter, "What are you, squishing me? One day will come, I will squeeze you." This body is a very precious diamond. It is very fragile. Till now, no one in this world could make a body like this, only one, and that is Mother Nature, a heavenly architect. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
