The concept of “I am body” arises when the self interacts with the world, with the body becoming the subject. However, when we observe the body, it becomes the object, and the self acts as the witness. In deep sleep, the body is not the experiencer, and the self is “nobody.” Through these changing relationships, we can understand that the self is not the body, but rather consciousness that uses or witnesses the body.
