Explanation : This body is perishable and it is surely to be

dropped by everybody sooner or the later. If we think deeply we

understand that this body is not at all helpful to us, may be

it is helpful to itself. We chew and consume the juice of mango,

then throw away the seed and the cover skin. The seed creates one

more tree after sometime. Maya (body) is like the cover of mango, one must give

up thinking about body. Bija (seed) is the consciousness, (Aham Bhava), that

must be preserved. The consciousness should be then roasted and should be

offered to Guru or the saint. (The roasted seed can't germinate, so the

abandoned/controlled consciousness can't see the illusionary world again). One

should completely surrender to the feet of the saints, and should not hope again

that the seed of consciousness shall germinate again. (One should give up

worldly desires completely)

 

Live in this world with firm belief (Bhava) that the body does not exist at all,

(try to make practice of living, without thinking for body), and be sure that

God will be easily available to you.
