You are not the body; you are the embodiments of the Atma. The physical body comes and goes.

 

How can we overcome narrow vision and experience the Universal Consciousness?  We have to recognise the fact that human life depends on the functioning of the mind. As long as one is governed by the mind one continues to be human. Once one goes beyond the mind, one can enjoy the vastness of the limitless expanse of Cosmic Consciousness.  Here is an example: Suppose you construct a spacious house with a number of bedrooms, living rooms, dining room and bath room. The spacious house appears divided into a number of small rooms. This is because of the walls put up for partitioning into rooms. If the walls are pulled down, the house will be one vast mansion.  Similarly, the body is the wall which limits one's perception to the narrow confines of the body. Once you get rid of this body consciousness, you will experience the vast expanse of the Universal Cosmic Consciousness which is all-pervasive. Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
