I’m wondering about the meaning of the word “body” at the end of the last verse you read. When I was young, I felt intrinsically eternal. I wasn’t aware of death. I wasn’t questioning eternity. Life felt like eternity. Then Christianity brought up the notion of “being saved” and the image of going to “heaven” formed in my mind. As I grew older, as people died around me, my dear grand-maman first, then eventually my parents, I became aware of my spirit not changing, being the one constant in my life. So when I look inside of me I can be aware of my spirit being one with the Universe. I’m wondering if you know what the word “body” here can be translated into from the original language?
