I feel like my body is just a source of problems and will eventually decay. What's the point of having this physical form if it's so flawed and temporary?

📖 Chapter 8

The scriptures acknowledge the challenging nature of our physical form, describing the human body as a "house for worms and insects" and a "direct prison for the soul" made of flesh, blood, and bone. Chapter 8 highlights that it is impure, perishable, and subject to disease and death. However, it also provides a profound purpose. Despite its transient and impure nature, it is only through this very human body that one can reach the Lord, the "Abode of Auspiciousness." Therefore, while the body is flawed, it is also the essential vehicle for spiritual attainment and reaching eternal happiness.
