One should always remain conscious of the

fact that your body was not there before

and will not be there ever after. The current
life is a stopover in the journey of your soul.
Do not love your body too much. Just take
care of it, for your soul will have to struggle
much when the time comes to detach it. You
body is like a chariot, the driver of the
chariot is your soul. The wearing out of the
body is inevitable and you are bound to
become a dead body one day.
