"[O]ur own bodies are changing every second. Yet we take the body to be our Self; and, speaking in terms of it, we say, â€œI am hungryâ€ or â€œI am lameâ€; â€œI am blackâ€ or â€œI am white.â€ These are all just the conditions of the body. We touch the truth when we say, â€œMy body aches,â€ implying the body belongs to us and that therefore we are not that. (87)"

-- Swami Satchidananda
