How can body perception bring about an end to suffering?Mental suffering has two causes —attachment and aversion. Attachment and aversion arise because of our wrong notions about the body. Attachment and aversion produce suffering. It is difficult to achieve freedom from these by listening to discourses alone. Through the practice of body perception, the inner truth about the body becomes apparent. As this truth unfolds, the net of illusions begins to dissolve.
Lord Buddha experienced the transitoriness of all life through body perception. When he saw that the body is nothing but mere vibrations, the mental disposition of accepting matter as something solid and durable disappeared of itself.
Lord Mahavir reflected upon the transience of life for six months before initiation. Again, body perception was the factor behind this contemplation.
Chakravarti Bharat attained omniscience in the Palace of Mirrors. How did it come about? Again, body perception was a factor thereof. Constant perception of the body gave him an insight into its fleeting nature and he was illuminated.
The Buddha, Mahavir, and Bharat ali practised body-perception. They realized the true nature of the body, directly experienced its transitoriness, and all their suffering came to an end. Suffering ensures only when the inner and the outer are not harmonised. The sadhak who succeeds in harmonising his inner experience with the external phenomena, who is fully integrated, becomes immune from the effect of changing circumstances. In deep body-perception, it is immaterial whether the wind blowing outside is hot or cold. With the experiencing of the movement of consciousness through each and every particle of the body, all physical and mental, I.e the inner and outer suffering stands dissolved.
