Dialogue between ‘body’ and ‘soul’

By Lazar Arasu

Body
You Soul, often to my disadvantage you are elevated to the heights.
As humans we are what we are because of our body.
It is through body that you soul is inspired into our lives.
And God too inspired into our lives through the body.

Soul
Soul is the most beautiful part of our essence, because through it we are conscious of the dwelling place of God. God is dwelling in us.
In fact, God does not make distinction between souls of Christ His Son and we the humans. God dwells in our soul and soul dwells in God.
Our soul is of God-substance and our substance is in God.
Do you know that when we come to know the soul we come to know God Himself?
He, the Nature, the Sense-soul is nearer to us than our own soul.
We cannot have the full knowledge of God by reason, we can know Him by mind and love.
God is Mind and Love Himself. This leads us to understand that we are being, increasing and fulfilling.
God is in fact Being, Increasing and Fulfilling.

Body
You rightly said, God is Being, Increasing and Fulfilling…
It is a body-talk. When we say God is also our Father and Mother
and we are making reference to body.God is Motherhood in our Nature.
God became our Mother and Father in his Son by taking the form of body.
Christ is the union of two… He was made flesh (humankind) for love.
He knit together our flesh and spirit into one single whole.
As he has shared our flesh and our essence, now we are of same Essence.
We stay forever in God’s ambience. Because of our body we are able to talk of God and
It is our body that makes God meaningful to us.
