The Sabad begins with a profound declaration— the body itself is a manifestation of the divine, a temple, and a wandering pilgrim. This poetic imagery invites reflection on the sacred nature of the physical form, transforming it into a vessel for spiritual exploration and worship. The verses suggest that offerings of incense, lamps, eatables, and petals can be made within the body, turning living into a divine ritual.

Body itself is god; body itself is temple,
Body itself is the wandering pilgrim.
Body is where to offer incense, lamps, and eatables,
Body is where to worship with petals.  1. 
Searched numerous realms,
obtained nine treasures in the body.
Since I invoked Charmer-Divine,
nothing comes, nothing goes.  1.  Reflect.
The One in the universe is in the body,
the one who searches, finds.
Pipa offers: Supreme is the Essence,
revealed by the Eternal-Guru. 2.
