1 Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
The physical body is made up of countless numbers of tiny material particles called molecules and atoms. These material particles are constantly being replaced by material particles from the outside environment (in the form of food, water, air, and so on). Over a period of five to seven years, this process of metabolism brings about a complete change of the matter that makes up your body.

Quote from Jagat Guru (Chris Butler) Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
2 "The body is yours " but it is not you. The body is a garment that you are wearing, a machine that you are using, a vehicle that you are driving. The body is your possession. Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt he is wearing, he also should not identify himself with the body that he is wearing."

3 False identity = bad economy
"No matter how much sensual pleasure people have, no matter how much they consume, they always want more. This endless personal craving manifests as ever increasing material consumption."

5 Many people believe that a person is the brain or some part of the brain. You may be one of them. If so, the following should boggle your mind:
"Recent studies on the turnover of the molecular population within a give nerve cell have indicated that…their macromolecular contingent is renewed about ten thousand times in a lifetime"
In other words, the matter making up each brain cell is completely renewed every three days.Your brain " that mass of matter which is contained in your skull today " is not the same brain that was in your skull last week.

6 "There is more than enough food, water, fuel and so on to satisfy the actual needs of everyone on the planet. But there is not enough to satisfy everyone's greed. Even if it were physically possible for you to consume all the food water and fuel in the world, you still would not be satisfied " "material food" cannot satisfy spiritual craving. Since the materialist is never satisfied, he never feels that he has had enough."

Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
7 Is the body really the self? Are you really your body? Let me ask you a few simple questions: Do you exist at this moment? Did you exist five years ago? Are you your body? Most people would answer "yes" to all three questions. But if you identify your body as yourself, and simultaneously accept that you exist now and also existed five years ago, then you have a problem: The body you had five years ago does not exist today. There is a dynamic turnover of atoms and molecules which make up your body. There isn't a single particle of matter " not one atom " present in your body today that was present five years ago. The body you have today is not the same body you had five years ago. It's not that the body you had still exists but has now changed somewhat. No. The body you had is gone. That collection of atoms appearing as flesh, bone, blood, hair, and so on no longer exists. Yet you still exist.

8 "If life is materially based, then why don't we see it springing from matter in the natural world? And why can't we create life from matter in our laboratories?

9 "Perfection means being in tune with reality. The first thing we must understand is reality " the reality of my identity i.e. my essence, position and function. Who am I? Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt that he is wearing, he also should not identify himself with the body that he is wearing." (Source Values and wisdom)

Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
10 " In the same way that we do not befriend or reject somebody just on the basis of the type of clothing he is wearing, we should not feel prejudice nor bigotry towards others just because of the type of body that they are wearing. We should know that we aren't our bodies and thus not relate with others according to their temporary bodies."

Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
11 "We may think we are attracted to the beautiful body of a woman, but actually it is the spark of life which attracts us. When Marilyn Monroe "died", when the life force left the material body, the body was no longer attractive. All that was left was a lump of unattractive matter that was thrown in the dirt. So is it logical to think that material energy is all-attractive? No. Life force or spirit is the attractive element."

12 Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
"Most people are not concerned about the problems we are creating on earth. Our whole attitude towards this planet is that it is disposable. Everyone thinks that they can take anything they want, exploit it, and then conveniently throw it away. So many things have become disposable " not only diapers, towels, plates and spoons " but babies, wives, husbands and old people too."

13 Quote from Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
"History has shown us that our tendency to colonize and exploit other regions has always backfired. This planet can be made a happier, more peaceful place to live in, but the change will have to come from within the hearts of all of us living here."
