Body as an Instrument of ‘I’ · Body is my Instrument. 'I' am the one who takes Decisions, the body acts accordingly. · Example: - Eating – this involves both, me as well as my body. · 'I' decide to eat and pass the information to body. Thus the food is picked, chewed and then swallowed. Note that it is the 'I' (self) that chooses to eat and makes a choice of what to eat and how much to eat. · The Body is used just as an Instrument in the process of eating. Slide 13 of 22 13

Body as an Instrument of ‘I’ · I am the Seer. · I see through eyes, the eyes don't see, they are just an instrument used by me. · In the eyes, different images are formed every time – it is 'I' who is able to relate it to its meaning. · I am the doer. · I select to do, and use the hands or feet or other parts of the body to do the things. · I am the enjoyer. · When I eat, I get the taste. The body just gets in touch with the food and sends the information to me, it is 'I' who enjoys the food. Slide 16 of 22 16

Brain – Communication between Body and Self (I) • Collects the sensations from the Body and makes them available for the Self (I); the Self (I) may or may not pay attention to the sensations • Takes instructions from the Self (I) and transmits them to the different parts of the Body • Local or general anesthesia: the part of the body is not able to send sensation to the brain, or the whole body is not able to send sensation to the brain… so the brain is not sending the sensation to the Self(I) Slide 21 of 22 21

SUMMARY OF LECTURE-9 · I am the Seer. · I am the Doer. · I am the Enjoyer. · The Body is my essential Instrument. · Usually we recognize ourselves largely on the basis of Body only which is not right. Slide 22 of 22 22
