Meditation and Life. Swami Chinmayananda

When you wear your Sunday suit, it moves and behaves just as the wearer. When the same suit is off the back of the wearer and is hanging on its hanger, it has no movement. The suit is dead when its master, the wearer, is not within its folds, vitalising, directing and determining its movement. Similar is the case with the physical body – as long as the wearer, the Lord, is within, the limbs move and the outer and inner organs function. To give this moving physical body an identity and a name and to arrogate to it an independent existence is in no way wiser than to claim a personality for the Sunday suit!
