That supreme I is one alone. Material and one of many, how can the mere physical body be the Self?
It's well-established that I is the seer and the body is the seen. Thus they say, this is mine. So how can a mere body be the Self?
That I is changeless and the body is always changing. This is visibly experienced. So how can a mere body be the Self?
Even the subtle body is made of unstable parts. It too is an object, subject to modification, limited, and unreal. So how can it be the Self?
Different from these two bodies is Atman, Purusa, Isvara, the Self of all, of all form and beyond all, that imperishable I.
