Didn't recognize this body clearly

Śūraṅgama Sūtra


A Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua


When we are alive, this body is under our control; after we die, the four elements will separate - the heat will go to the fire element, the wetness will go to the water element, the hardness will go to the earth element, and our breath will return to the wind element; this is also "each has its own home."

Therefore, people who do not have a clear understanding of the body think that they are helping the body to do everything. You don't know: your true heart has become a slave to this fake body! Every day, you are topsy-turvy, running around, running here and there, for what exactly? What's the point anyway? When you ask him, he will be like Ananda, speechless and unable to explain anything. This is because we do not recognize this body clearly, and we only focus on the "dead thing" and not on the "living thing"!
