A disciple asked his Guru- "Is there a 'Soul' in our body,? Will it not 'perish' like the body.?" The Guru explained . "Milk" is useful but if left as it is it gets spoiled. In case u add a drop a "Buttermilk". it becomes "Curd" and the Milk that turns to Curd, remains for one more day without getting spoiled . If left as it is,the Curd gets spoiled. Yet, if u churn the "Curd" it becomes "Butter" which doesn't get spoiled. But, even Butter also does not remain fresh for many days.. It becomes rancid or spoiled after a few days. But if u melt Butter in a proper manner.. It becomes pure "Ghee", which never gets spoiled. Now, do u see that the "Milk" which gets spoiled contains "Ghee" that never gets spoiled ? Likewise, inside the "perishable" Body, there is an "imperishable" Soul. Human Body is the milk । Sankirtan is the buttermilk. Seva is the churning.. & then by Sadhana we melt the 'reformed body' to be one with the 'soul'.
