"Does the mind appear in the body or the body in the mind?"

"As body, you are in space. As mind, you are in time. But are you a mere body with a mind in it? Have you ever investigated?'

"Why not investigate the very idea of body? Does the mind appear in the body or the body in the mind? Surely there must be a mind to conceive the "I-am-the-body" idea. A body without a mind cannot be 'my body'. 'My body' is invariably absent when the mind is in abeyance. It is also absent when the mind is deeply engaged in thoughts and feelings."
