Understanding this quote
The quote says that the body is the medium through which we meet the world. Seeing, hearing, touching, and other forms of sensory awareness do not happen apart from the body; they are how our attention reaches things around us. Experience is therefore bodily from the start, not something that occurs independently of physical life.
