' The Dweller is Timeless '...

Events in time and space - birth and death,
cause and effect - these may be taken as one;
but the body and the embodied are not of the
same order of reality.

The body exists in time
and space, transient and limited, while the
dweller is timeless and spaceless, eternal and
all-pervading.

To identify the two is a grievous
mistake and the cause of endless suffering.
You can speak of the mind and body as one, but
the body-mind is not the underlying reality.
