This was the core of the Identity Crisis. According to the Brahma Kumaris philosophy, human suffering stems from Body Consciousness (Deh Abhiman). We identify the "Self" with the physical form—the face, the job, the age, the role. We think, "I am a CEO," "He is an old man," "She is a wife." Because we see the "Body," we judge it. We place conditions on it. “I will love you if you look good.” “I will love you if you earn more.” “I will love you if you stop coughing so loudly.” "I treated him like a piece of furniture," Kabir whispered. "I looked at his slow walk, his trembling hands, and I felt irritation. I didn't see Him. I only saw a malfunctioning machine."
