Are there any mystical writers who do not hate the body and do not aspire to depersonalization?

An interesting plot event from Brothers Karamazov

Why does Zossima's body smell bad and decay so rapidly?

Personally, I think it was symbolic of his desire for Alyosha to leave the monastery. The smelly corpse actually served to set up the chain of events causing Alyosha to leave, almost as if Zossima was exerting his will post-mortem.
