This Body Is God’s Temple

This body is God's temple,

If God dwells in me.

In the light of the heart,

The only God I see.

Every word is a holy chanting,

Each movement is a prayer.

This world becomes the heaven,

When I know how to care.

I am conscious of the sorrow,

Not in any of my dreams,

But I can bear all the sufferings,

Like the fortunate pilgrims.

The beautiful temple of my God,

I would clean it everyday,

I would make it strong and holy,

Where every day I pray.

As long as God dwells in this temple,

It is a holy and peaceful shrine.

When I allow the devil to stay in me,

I claim this body as mine.
