Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 416

सततविमलबोधानन्दरूपं समेत्य
त्यज जडमलरूपोपाधिमेतं सुदूरे ।
अथ पुनरपि नैष स्मर्यतां वान्तवस्तु
स्मरणविषयभूतं पल्पते कुत्सनाय ॥

satatavimalabodhānandarūpaṃ sametya
tyaja jaḍamalarūpopādhimetaṃ sudūre |
atha punarapi naiṣa smaryatāṃ vāntavastu
smaraṇaviṣayabhūtaṃ palpate kutsanāya |
(Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 416)

Eternal, unsullied Knowledge-Bliss—thus realizing the Atman, fling far away from this body which is inert and impure. Then think of it no more, for a thing vomited brings only disgust when it is remembered.
The blissfulness, transcendental knowledge, eternal remembering are the qualities to remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We should not lament for body satisfaction. Our body is impure which filled with muscles, bones, blood, intestinal worms, stools, mucus, bile, and etc are not pure. We must relate our soul with the Lord. Otherwise, we are appreciating a material life that is equal to vomit and remembering the disgusting vomit as a good part of our life.

One should always think he is a soul which is part and parcel of the Lord Madhusudhana.
