I still don't understand the fundamental statement. Bodies don't leave. The soul and life leaves the body, the body stays and decomposes in the ground or is otherwise disposed of. It made more sense when I thought Maguru meant the mind left the body...well...it made equally little sense. Bodies don't and can't come or go, its our consciousness in the body that can be transferred.
