Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:60
The verse is saying: “You need to understand that even the body is a thing borrowed. Otherwise, you will not understand anything at all.” The body is something we borrow, and we are enabled to be alive by the complete providence of God. It should also be noted that the mind alone is ours because this teaching, though not explicitly mentioned in these verses we are looking at, is nevertheless paired with the teaching of a thing borrowed. Part III, in fact, teaches a great deal about the use of the mind. The teaching of dust is an example of that.
