The most auspicious day is when you have the conviction that ‘I am not the body’ and the idea ‘I am the body’ is destroyed and the Self shines forth.
Have the firm conviction that ‘I am not the body’ as it is the body that exists within the Self. He who thinks that he exist within the insentient body, is like someone who regards the screen which is the base for the (projection) picture as being within one of those pictures.
The idea ‘I am the body’ is ‘ajnana’(ignorance) through which a person thinks that he is within the body, whereas, actually, the body is in the Self like any other perceived object. Thus have the firm dictum: ‘I am not in the body, the body is in me’
