When a man calls his body, "My body" who is the owner or the indweller of the body? If he is not the body or the mind, what is he? Without understanding who he is, is there any meaning in talking about "my body", "my mind" and the like? Is there any sense in seeking to acquire various possessions without understanding who is acquiring them and for what purpose? Once it is realized that the mind is the cause of this "my-ness", and that it is made up of desires, then one will strive to achieve the state of Samadhi (superconscious state of bliss) in which all agitations in the mind cease.
