L.E: From your past posts, I'd guess that you have an answer to that question

that you are keeping to yourself.

Usually the Supreme Self, or Infinite Self, or Source of Life is written with

capital letters. As, 'If the Self is infinite... " but you used the small

letter so your question is a bit confusing.

One answer is: As the SELF is infinite, it contains all that is including the

apparently finite human body. Another way is that although the human body

appears finite it is actually infinite because it is contained by the infinite.

Another way is to write, since the self is infinite, or the SELF is infinite,

how can it not contain the human body and all the bodies of all organisms.

Or, how can Infinite Self stand outside of anything, including the human body?

Also, if you and I are part of Infinite Self how can we exist as a limited

ego, mind, self? In that sense, as you experience your Infinite Self Nature,

and

sense the infinity in everything, nothing has a separate individual existence

at all, then none of this, including the human body exists at all. But as

long as you are also an individual body, your awareness will usually return to

this ordinary realm where the ego seems to exist and your infinite nature will

seem to be a memory held in the present. Or, the way it is, is the way it,

Life, wants it to be. And, accept it or suffer. And on and on.
