This story illustrates exactly the mystical idea. To the mystic the body is a garment. But it is no use realizing this intellectually; for if one says intellectually, "My body is my garment", the next question is, "But then what am I, and where am I?" It is by the meditative process that one finds where one is and what one is, and this does not remain as a belief; it becomes faith, and even greater than faith; it becomes conviction.
