You say there is no ‘I’ to be called ‘I’, yet my body is always in pain.

Saying that there is no ‘I’ to be called ‘I’ means that the image that we regard as ‘I’ is the function of the true-Self, just as winds are the function of air. Pain is also the function of the true-Self that is beyond positive and negative.

We may regard pain as a guard who protects us from more serious illness by warning us of its approach. Try to see beyond pain.
