Understanding this quote
The speaker is recognizing the body as a medium rather than the whole of a person. Calling it a “vehicle” suggests that consciousness moves through the body or uses it as a temporary means of expression. The statement separates physical existence from consciousness without explaining exactly what consciousness is or where it comes from.
