Purport

ÅšarÄ«rÄ« refers to a person who owns the Å›arÄ«ra, or body. As stated in the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (2.13):

dehino ’smin yathÄ dehe kaumÄraá¹ yauvanaá¹ jarÄ
tathÄ dehÄntara-prÄptir dhÄ«ras tatra na muhyati

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.†For the ordinary living being in material existence there is a division or distinction between the body and the owner of the body. In spiritual existence, however, there is no such distinction, for the body is the owner himself and the owner is the body itself. In spiritual existence, everything must be spiritual. Therefore there is no distinction between the body and its owner.
