~ Jagad Guru Chris Butler (Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa)

Perfection – Being in Tune with Reality
The body is yours—but it is not you. The body is a garment that you are wearing, a machine that you are using, a vehicle that you are driving. The body is your possession. Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt he is wearing, he also should not identify himself with the body that he is wearing. ~ Jagad Guru Chris Butler (Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa)

A famous football player in the United States who recently retired was discussing the particular event that made him decide to quit playing. He had been running with the football toward the goal, with two tacklers chasing him. As his legs started giving out, he thought, “Come on, you old legs—don’t give out on me now!” This is like a race car driver who talks to his car: “Keep on going, Betsy—don’t let me down now!” In other words, you use your body as a type of vehicle; but like all vehicles, it is bound to break down sooner or later. ~ Jagad Guru Chris Butler (Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa)
