The Western philosophers are known to have lived in a cocoon of their making! Absolutely devoid of Wisdom... most played with the thoughts of masses. Their assumptions... their deliberations... their derivations... their conclusions were all vague as they were far away from absolute truth!

There is no confusion at all regarding the body of a living being. If I say, I am a body... it is wrong! If I conclude I have a body... I am still wrong as only an enlightened soul... one who gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) can make this statement! Normal human beings are all living beings... a living form... a body with a soul atman within.

our soul atman the spirit within soul atman within is the master and controller of the body. It is our soul atman within that is on its cosmic journey and not the body! The moment one gains enlightenment... one becomes a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed. One can finally say, "I have manifested a body"... never otherwise!

Under no circumstances any living being can say, "I am a body" as it would be wrong to say that! Every living form is a cluster of a soul atman that has manifested a body to eradicate the impurities... the dross within! The moment complete dross within removes... the soul atman regains its original pure pristine form.

One finally reaches the end goal of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! The moment that happens... one gains salvation (moksha)! Reaching the stage of salvation moksha announces liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever. Henceforth it is a direct journey into the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism).

The ego within every human being makes us believe that the body is the absolute owner of the self! This is not absolute truth! The concept of ego was inserted by God Almighty so that the process of karma continued uninterrupted! Devoid of ego... no living being would have worked for the soul atman within.

Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism makes it absolutely clear that the fruits of karma always belong to the soul atman within and never the body. In the circumstances... the role of the body of every living being is simply to abide by the wishes of soul atman within. The sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come from within our heart always guides us on the right path!
