We are not the body. I wear my body like a dress and you too.
Who is this “I” that is wearing the body? It is the Immortal and Universal Soul that is wearing the body! It is the same soul that is present everywhere, wearing many dress. There only one Soul or Universal Consciousness.
An exemple would make things a bit clearer. Just look up in the sky during the daytime. You will see some clouds here and there, and empty sky between. Everywhere, including in the spaces between clouds, there water vapour. In some places, this water vapour manifests as clouds, but elsewhere it is not visible; however, it is present all the same, everywhere and at all times.
Now notice a few interesting points. Firstly the clouds appear and disappear; they are transient and not permanent. Next, while they exist, the clouds keep changing their shapes. And thirdly, no two clouds are alike.
What happens with clouds happens also in the world. The Soul pervades the entire world, indeed the entire Universe. Here and there, it manifest temporarily via the dress” call bodies, not only of humans but also of animals, insects, etc. Thus, all living beings are the embodiments of the one Universal Soul or Universal Consciousness.
Recall clouds are changing their shapes with time. The same thing happens to a living being or the embodied Soul. The being passes through various stages such as childhood, youth, middle age and old age.
When the body becomes old, the Soul just casts off the body and wears a new “dress”, that is, it acquires a new body!
There no need to feel sad because death is just a change of dress that is all!

Thought for the day
L’homme doit toujours avancer vers la force ; il ne devrait pas se réfugier dans le mensonge, la méchanceté et la malhonnêteté qui sont les caractéristiques fondamentales de la lâcheté. Cette lâcheté est née de l’acceptation d’une image fausse et inférieure de nous-même. Vous pensez que vous êtes l’enveloppe, la couche extérieure, mais vous êtes en réalité le noyau, le cœur. Cette fausse identification est l’erreur fondamentale. Tout effort spirituel doit être dirigé vers la suppression de l’enveloppe et la révélation du noyau central. Aussi longtemps que vous dites « Je suis Untel », vous êtes obligé d’avoir peur, mais une fois que vous dites et éprouvez « Je suis Brahman », vous obtenez une force invincible.
