Thinking 'I Am This Bag of Skin and Bone' - Prabhupada 0706



690430 - Lecture Northeastern University - Boston

Anyone who has the concept of this bodily understanding that, 'I am this body' Ātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātu. Ātma-buddhiḥ means concept of self in this bag of skin and bone. This is a bag. This body is a bag of skin, bone, blood, urine, stool, and so many nice things. You see? But we are thinking that "I am this bag of bone and skin and stool and urine. That is our beauty. That is our everything."
