The last message of Sri Krishna. Uddhava Gita. Chapter IV

Thus, I have learnt these things from all these teachers. Now listen O King, to what I have learnt from my own body, as I relate it to you. – 24

The body is a teacher of mine, being the cause of dispassion and discrimination, and being subject to birth and death which always brings pain in their wake. With its help I adequately reflect on the ultimate pricelessly I have known for a certainty that it belongs to others and hence I wander without attachment. – 25

The body and mind enable one to discriminate and thereby guide one to realization. Therefore, it is possible to understand and appreciate the truth and that the body does not belong to one but after one’s death, it may be consumed by animals.

That very body for the sake of whose welfare, a man adds unto himself and maintains a wife, children, sense objects, domestic animals, wealth, and material possessions. This body at the end of one’s life withers like a tree creating a seed for the fresh body of man. – 26

The seed means that one accumulates fresh Karma which prolongs the chain of transmigration.

The tongue attracts the man to one direction and thirst to another; the sex impulse draws somewhere and skin, stomach and ears to other quarters; the nose attracts in one direction, the restive eyes elsewhere, while the tendency for work draws to something else—all these undermine the man like so many wives of a householder. – 27

If one is attached to one’s senses, then one can never attain self-realization. The sole purpose of one’s body is to attain spiritual awareness.

The message is that the Lord created all sentient beings, and flora and fauna. He was not satisfied with his creations. Then he made the human body which is blessed with the desire to realize Brahman and his heart was full of joy.

Dear ones, practice discernment and be objective, and understand the principles of truth. And be blessed.
