You are not your body. It is just a part of what you are and you are only experiencing its reality.
It is a general rule that if you wish to be truly at peace with something/someone and experience freedom whilst being with them/it you have to exist independent from it. Meaning you have to be an independent unit which is in no way conditioned by the other person/thing/object.
While you are still identifying with you physical self you are tied up with it and depending upon its current state of health and fitness you are either feeling happy or unhappy, at ease or discomforted, satisfied or dissatisfied.
Generally, the older a body is growing the less it is capable to act and react exactly the way its inhabiting self would like it to. If you go through life believing that you are your body there will inevitable come a time, when you are going to find its reality difficult to accept and live with because it will be no longer able to do as you please best. Therefore, the sooner you detach yourself from it and learn to see it as a temporary habitation only, the less painful it will be, when it begins to show signs of deterioration and weakening in ageing. Otherwise your body will be feeling increasingly like a prison or an obstruction to your personal happiness. Instead of being a reality which is enabling you to experience the Divine in the world of dense matter.
