In Guru Gita class four, Swamiji declares, ”What a privilege it is to have a body that we can dedicate to the Guru!” Swamiji reminds us that the physical body is the source of pain and distraction, and will ultimately be scattered to ashes. He then asks the class, “Why are we so attached to the physical body, which is transient? Would it not be wiser to cultivate attachment to the Soul, which is Eternal?” When we fall in love with the Soul, we are attaching ourselves to something permanent. Swamiji explains that it is the Guru who shows us how we can cultivate an eternal love affair for the evolution of the soul. Jai Gurudev!
