The body is an instrument – a tool. You use a hammer to pound in a nail. Do you think you are the hammer? Of course not. Yet you say, “I hammered the nail.” The hammer was the go-between between your thought, your will, and the action. That is what the body is – the go-between, not the real you. It is a useful tool to carry out ego’s thoughts and will or those of the soul. Who will do your body’s bidding? The answer to that question determines your peace.
