Instead, he said that time was a property of the universe that God created, and that time did not exist before the beginning of the universe.

Swami Sivananda : From ABANDON BODY-CONSCIOUSNESS : ...This body which is full of impurities, urine, pus and faecal matter etc., is perishable. It is like froth or bubble or mirage.

You should treat this body with contempt, as dung. Why should you cling to it and worship it with scents, powders and flowers?
