« Nothing Subtle »

A mind is a body that thinks it is not a body but something separate from it.  Thus, a mind is a deluded body.  Once again: here you are, a "mind," thinking that you are "in" a "body," but you aren't "in" a body.  You are a body, a body thinking that you are a mind, i.e. a body that does not know oneself, a body that thinks it isn't what it is but something else.  But you aren't anything else.  You are this body.  That's all.  I hope it's enough since there isn't anything else.  Sure, you can call this "mind" a subtle body, as in a body-within-a-body, as in inner body, but a body is still a body even if it's in the form of a nesting doll set.  You are one, not two, even if you use two words (body and mind) to describe this two-dimensional oneness of yours.  Nothing subtle about this.
