How do we define ourselves?

Chazal tell us that if forty days go by without any discomfort, it is a sign that a person is receiving his olam haba in this world. This world is physical and the next world is transcendental. Therefore, a person who is emotionally attached to physicality is not ready for the next world.

Using gashmiut is good, defining yourself as physical is bad.
