A mud pot is nothing but mud. Vessels made of gold are basically gold only and nothing else. We have emerged from God. Therefore, all of us are God only. Due to our body consciousness, we get into all kinds of trouble. What is this body? It is a perishable leather bag with nine holes, but not like a resplendent diamond. No fragrance but only foul smell emanates from it every moment. It is made up of flesh, blood, bones and faecal matter. Should we develop attachment with this body? When people achieve success, they attribute it to their capability; if they meet with failure, they attribute it to God’s Will. You can know the truth only when you recognise that everything happens by the Will of God, and whatever happens is good for you. Today, spiritual aspirants and devotees do not have this kind of faith. It is because of their part-time devotion. You should become full-time devotees. From dawn to dusk, do your duty with a firm conviction that all duties belong to God. Do your duty with love. Then only will you attain perfection. - Divine Discourse, Apr 30, 1997
