Meaning:
What is the use of the body ?
When not circumambulating the abode of hara,
shower the flowers with hands and say, "Hail Thee",
What is the use of this body ?

Notes:
1. The Peerless Mercy of God has got for the pashus,
which are dipped in the filth of bondage, 
this instrument called body to come out of the
bondage and stay in the Eternal Bliss of pati.
When this instrument is not used to achieve that
great state, by way of worshipping that Ever
Blissful, Highly Gracious God, effectively the
instrument's purpose is not served. In that case
what is the use of having this instrument at all !!
