My Guru asked a simple yet startling question recently in one of his talks.
It’s not a question we don’t know from before. But that doesn’t make it any less startling.
His question was, that if we see a dead body, we refer to it as, “his dead body” or “her dead body”.
So that body is lying there. Finished. Finito. No life in it.
And yet we say “his” or “her” body.
Who is that “his” or “her” then?
We may know the answer. But do we really truly understand it?
