The body, in reality, is like clothing. The Consciousness/Soul is untouched by any dirt or disease that occurs to the body.
"IF YOU CAN SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THE PHYSICAL BODY, AND REST IN CONSCIOUSNESS, THEN THIS VERY MOMENT YOU WILL BE HAPPY, AT PEACE, AND FREE OF BONDAGE."
The Mahageeta

This separation from the body occurs naturally after Enlightenment. Then one rests permanently as Consciousness beyond the turmoil of body mind.
And once you are separated, you will not feel any pain, no hunger. If the body catches some disease, you will not suffer. Even when the body rests/sleeps, you will never sleep, you will always remain aware.
Then the whole world becomes perfect, as it is. In a perfect rhythm.
There is no suffering and there is no sufferer. Its an illusion which ends once and for all after Enlightenment.
But resting in Consciousness/Soul is also an illusion. This also needs to be dropped.
After Enlightenment, this happens naturally, an inevitable event...
The death of the illusion that is I am.

In the morning, when the alarm goes on, we come out from our sleep and wake up. The loud ringing/buzzing of the alarm disturbs our sleep.
Similarly, when we are in a deep meditative state (resting in consciousness), an alarm wakes us up from this illusion of being I am.
And this alarm is so massive!! Its like being hit by a tsunami. It not only wakes us up, it shakes up our very foundations... it leaves absolutely nothing we can hold on to.
Kabir has written:
HERAT HERAT HEY SAKHI RAHYA KABIR HERAYI
BUNDA SAMANI SAMUNDA MEN SO KAT HERI JAYI.
"Oh friend! Seeking and searching, Kabir was gradually lost. The drop has fallen in the ocean, how can the drop be sought out?"
But Kabir afterwards changed the lines of the song, cancelling the previous ones, and said, "That was a mistake committed because of haste. The experience was new. I could not quite understand what had happened. Out of the old habit I saw things the wrong way around." Then he wrote the verse differently,
HERAT HERAT HEY SAKHI RAHYA KABIR HERAYI
SAMUNDA SAMANA BUNDA MEN SO KAT HERA JAYI.
"Oh friend, seeking and searching, Kabir was gradually lost. The ocean has fallen into the drop, how can the drop be sought out?
"The ocean has descended into the drop. Had it been the drop that had fallen into the ocean perhaps somehow I would have sought it out, but just the opposite has happened: it is the whole ocean that has fallen into the drop. Now even if I want to I would not know where to look for this drop. Now this drop cannot be found."
The mediums that have enabled us to know all that we have known in the world become useless in knowing what happens in the moment of samadhi. We ourselves become useless. Our very existence gets shattered. Some bigger existence, which has no limits, bursts forth on us -- suddenly. We die in the process.
Samadhi is the ultimate death, bigger than the physical death; because in the physical death only the body dies, the mind survives, whereas in samadhi the mind dies. For the first time our entire relationship with the mind breaks; for the first time all the connecting strings of the mind snap, making us separate. And our whole knowledge was of the mind.
Whosoever enters the door to samadhi is suddenly totally ignorant. There is no way there for knowing anything, no system for knowing anything, no means for knowing anything, just the pure knowing remains. It is very difficult to give any information after coming back. Who is there to give information? Who is there to bring the news? But the information has been given.

And it is so.
Its like being hit by lightning and becoming the lightning.
Instead of being dead, you become alive! For the first time... really Alive!
