The body is doing the action, body’s spare-parts are doing…
““The body is doing the action, body’s spare-parts are doing the action, and the egoism simply does the egoism of, ‘I did’! A sweet taste of subtle pride arises from this and one lives on the basis of this. He simply tastes the subtle pride of ‘I did’, ‘I suffered that pain’, ‘I enjoyed that happiness’. The one who becomes free from this subtle pride is liberated. Why does one keep tasting this subtle pride for infinite lives? Because one has never tasted the sweetness of the Soul.””
