Hindus believe in the concept that all souls are potentially divine. The soul's motive is to reach higher and higher levels of realisation till it can become one with God.
They say that a realised soul can leave and enter the body anytime they want. Many Hindu sages took farewell from their disciples and left the body on their own voluntary action.
This may be the reason why they say that for the wise, there is no body even while living. WISE means that the person has gained knowledge of the soul and the body has litle or no meaning to him anymore.

The wise do not identify themselves with being a body or mind. The wise know themselves to be just being, which is beyond the body and mind.
What life is to humans is a dream/illusion of the mind to the wise, for life as we know it, changes. In truth we are not what changes, but that which is changeless.
If the body changes...we are not the body. If the mind changes...we are not the mind. Nor can we be anything the mind perceives, since what we are is beyond the mind.

The wise in this moment is nothing to tell but you know it. It is prajnas not the smart or intellegences in the world. The smart being look good this moment but later on the good turned to bad or the good come together with the worst on the other hands.
Such as you pull up the little plant which look grown taller, but the root damages by your pulling, will die soon. This is the world smart.

the intended meaning is that a wise person is not affected nor are their actions determined by the bodies needs (sleep, sex, hunger, thirst, etc.)
early and strict sects of Hinduism were ascetic to the point of near death. to abuse the body through deprivation was somehow considered "holy", much like the so called "pillar saints" in early Christianity.

Realized people have no consciousness of their body, they are freed from this matter bondage, this may happen when kundalini reaches sahasrara chakra in the brain. The yogi then realizes God, who is the all pervading Ishwara. I don't know other ways in which body consciousness is given up.

The wise man is a realized person & he is free of any bondage & he is an independent man.He doesn't need anybody's help.
He always is in a bliss.So he doesn't need anyone for happiness too.
His needs are very limited & his is satisfied easily.
Nature provides him everything.He is always in tune with Nature.

It means that they understand that they are part of the All. When a drop of water is drawn from the ocean an placed on a plate, is it a drop of water on a plate, or a part of the ocean?

The body is perishable
the soul is immortal
Its the 'real' one should concentrate on
not on what would cease to 'exist'
