Anatomy and Physiology of Pleasure and The path to the SupremeThe divinity is within each of us. Our body is the temple.
Sculptures represent all worldly pleasures and pursuits. Human being derives all pleasure, from the most trivial to the highest, through sense organs, mind, and intellect. At the root of all our actions is the desire to seek the pleasant or to avoid the unpleasant. The Sculptures convey that knowledge about ways of seeking pleasure, or code of conduct related to harmonious living is essential.
Is this knowledge enough for total fulfillment that lasts forever and no further seeking is required?
The door to the temple symbolizes the gateway to the realm of bliss. The path that takes you to the temple away from the sensuous sculptures is the biggest blessing to human kind. It is the way to discover the Supreme by SELF REALIZATION, that has been mastered and propagated from Teacher (Guru) to the Taught (Seeker)
