Body Took Shape As Per The Deed Performed - Acharya Mahapragya

Explaining the story of King Pardesi & Keshi Swami, Acharya Mahapragya said that body is shaped as per the performance of deed.

Making King Pardesi understanding about the Karma philosophy, Keshi Swami asked him a question - let imagine that there is a dark room like a black hole, having not even a minute space from where light can enter except an entrance door. In such dark room, if a person lit a candle, then where it’s light will spread? King Pardesi answered - it will spread in the whole room. Keshi Swami again put a question - what will happen if a person covered that candle with small lid. King answered - Light will spread in the limited area of that lid.

Acharya shri explaining the basic of this discussion said that when a small body develops, soul accommodates in its space and when a large body develops, it adopts its shape by expanding his own area of coverage. Soul’s basics don’t differ in large body structure in comparisons with small body. Soul has uncountable segments within, which can be stretched & contracted as per the requirement. Body develops according to the deeds performed. With the logical explanation of Keshi Swami, King Pardesi had to accept that body is entirely different entity from soul.
