But who said that the body is dead or to treat it as corpse. These are certain ideas and practices in traditional ascetic yogas. Besides consciousness is everywhere including in the body. One cannot stop the breath like that, – thankfully. And if one stops it forcefully, the body simply dies and disintegrates. With the body, that held the consciousness, disintegrating, the conscious also disperses into the universal consciousness while the individual soul returns to its world and returns again through rebirth into ignorance.
Affectionately,
