In English
'I am dark', 'I am fair', 'I am short', 'I am tall' these are statements generally made. 'I am young,' 'I am old', 'I am a ', 'I am a Non-' - these statements too are indulged in. These qualities concern the body only. When a person is unconscious or in deep sleep, or dead, he is not aware of any of these characterisations regarding his body. They are extraneous to the real 'I', for the attributes adhere or fall off when time elapses or when circumstances change.
