First we have to understand it theoretically that we are not this body and then apply the theory in our day-to-day life. For example, when you get hurt, you can remind yourself that this pain is only due to the body. The spiritual soul does not feel the pain. However, since the consciousness of the spirit soul is flowing through the body and you are identifying yourself with the body, therefore you are feeling the pain. When the body is under anesthetics, then even when the vital organs of the body are cut open, still you do not feel the pain. The reason is that the consciousness is not flowing through the body. In this way, learn to apply your theoretical knowledge into practical application and that is how you will begin to realize that you are not your body. Fortunately, by nature’s arrangement, as the body grows old gradually the consciousness is withdrawn from the body and this identification of the self with the body will naturally begin to diminish provided you apply this theoretical knowledge to practical awareness.
