The body, the mind, the intellect and the senses are but instruments.

The question then arises, "Who are you?" The answer is: "You are the

master who makes use of these instruments." When you refer to "my

mind, my body, my senses," do you enquire "Who am I?" You say, "This

is my body, my mind, etc.," which implies that you are different from

these; yet, you identify yourself with the body and become a slave of

the senses instead of being their master. You are the Atma, the

Supreme Master. You have the potential to realize this through the

discriminating power of the intellect. Once you recognise this truth,

you will get rid of your animal qualities and understand your divine

nature.
