Of course the body is not you.

A journey is  travelling from a starting point to a destination. So what does it means by a journey to yourself?
You are already in yourself, right?So does it make any sense saying a movement from point A to point A?
Well, logically no, physically no .

But when we go into a deeper level of consciousness, of course it is a great journey.
It's a spiritual journey to know the true you. It is knowing the true you,Realising that ego is small' i ' and you are a bigger' I '
We will take a scientific approach we are going to make a wonderful coktail of science and spiritualism . It is known as the Vedic science.

See usually people think themselves as their body. But are they really?
It is well known that the earth is made up of atoms and they are made up of subatomic particles like electrons protons and neutrons, or in more fundamental level quarks leptons mesons..etc etc.
So how your body is made up ?

Let's begin from the beginning. Imagine your body was in your mothers womb , you got yours limbs grown up from the nutrients coming from your mother. What it came from ? Of course The food your mother had . What it came from? Of course from the earth. So your whole body is a piece of earth in which atoms are arranged in a very systematic and beautiful way .

So basically the non-living things surrounding you and your body are not the different things right,just arrangements matters.

Of course that is a gathering you have made from the natural sources . When you eat something, after some time it becomes your body, your body gains some atoms . When you do excretion, you lose some atoms , so it is changing regularly.
Your body is changing in each breath, in each inhale you are gaining something, in each exhale you are leaving something.body is constantly changing but are you changing in each breath, you exists even after all your body parts will be changed ,so we can safely conclude that you are not the body.


Now as we know that this body is not us , now we can conclude that the journey to yourself does not means the physical movement from your body to your body. It's a journey of you to realise the true nature of yourself, knowing the purest form of you , towards a higher dimension of consciousness beyond the physical world.

The body is born to die , it's an illusion to assume that body is you which is the root cause of egoism , once you will realise from inside that you are not the body , all the ego will be destroyed , attractions towards physical world, material world will be destroyed,and you will step up in the journey to yourself. This is the first stage of self realisation differentiating between body and you.
I will describe about the next Stage in next blogs .
