Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj made this the most obvious to me by writing a book titled, "I Am Not The Body," but when you think about it, many spiritual teachers have said the exact same thing in different ways.
The body is only an instrument. It is of the mind, and the mind itself is not real. One must realize that he is not the body and seek the source of the 'I'-thought.
The root of evil is in the illusion that we are bodies. This, if any, is the original sin.
You are the soul, free and eternal ... The body is just an instrument in your hands.
