Gift of the Human Body
In this context, Man must appreciate the fact that he is blessed with the wonderful

gift of the human body, which is in fact a living idol of God or Cosmic Life Force which is
omnipresent and also resides in the heart of human beings. Just as electricity requires

the medium of bulbs, tubes, fans, etc. to manifest itself, similarly Cosmic Life Force
requires a medium to manifest itself. Hence, in the case of Man, Cosmic Life Force

manifests itself through the medium of the human body. It is pertinent to note that,
neither we ourselves nor our parents are the creators of the human body. If we or our

parents were the creators of human body, then all the born children would be fair and
square, tall and healthy, clever and intelligent, handsome and beautiful; but we all know

that this is not true. Similarly, it is also ridiculous to imagine that there is no creator of
the human body. This point needs some clarification. For example, when we see a

beautiful sculpture in the form of a statue of a person, we are fully aware, without the
slightest doubt, that there must be a creator of this sculpture. No sensible person can

ever imagine that this sculpture has fallen from the skies or it has spurng up from the
earth. Similarly any sensible person will agree that in order to create such a sculpture,

the sculptor requires various instruments and implements. He works and exerts to create
it. He acquires the knowledge and skill of the art of sculpture from some guide. On

completion of such an ordinary sculpture, the sculptor boasts, "I am the creator of this
sculpture'' and also expects rewards in the form of money or appreciation from the

people. However, in spite of this laborious process, the statue of an individual, created by
the sculptor is very insignificant, because this statue neither speaks nor laughs nor walks

nor thinks, in fact it does nothing. As against this, the sculpture of the human body
created by God actually laughs, plays, speaks, walks, thinks, plans and, in fact, performs

a variety of functions. Similarly, though the internal and external composition and
constitution of the human body is extraordinarily complicated, there is actually no

complication of any kind whatsoever in its creation. The most surprising aspect is that
the creator of the human body is invisible, inarticulate and concealed. Similarly, He is

neither seen to be exerting and struggling to create this complicated and wonderful
sculpture, nor does He require any instruments or implements to create it. This

remarkable structure of the human body, is not only perfect and systematically shaped,
but there is also a process of designing and planning, proportion, naturalness,

systematised order and magnificent skill in its creation. In spite of such an excellent
creation of the sculpture of the human body, God, the creator, has never boasted
