who-am-i

As long as this belief, __ am the doer_ is not gone, one has not yet attained an iota of exact religion. He is still in the auspicious-inauspicious [shubh-ashubh] state.

All which is regarded as __y_, belongs to the non-Self. ___ is the Self and __y_ is of the non-Self; it is pudgal, the body-complex. There is nothing wrong with saying __his is mine_ in the worldly interactions, but the ___, __ho am I?_, must be decided from within.

Who is doing this? Who am I? What is all this? Who is the doer? Who is the nimit (instrumental doer) of this? If all these remain present __t a time_ exactly the way it is, then that is considered shuddha upayog (pure focused applied awareness of the Self, the Soul).

It is not possible to know __ho am I?_ by __oing_. __oing_ (anything), requires egoism, and where there is egoism, __ho am I_ cannot be known.

If you want to know the answer to __ho am I?_, then you will have to go to a Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. The Gnani Purush will give you Knowledge of your real Self [Who Am I] in the presence of the egoism. Thereafter your accounts (karmic) will be settled [& things will start falling in place].

As long as one is involved in worldly interactions, there is pleasure of the mind; and after knowing the Self (Soul), there is bliss of the Soul.

Knowledge that brings closure [settlement] to the mind in every way is Absolute Knowledge and it indeed is the all encompassing Knowledge that always gives complete closure [settlement, solutions].

Why is there so much problem just to know one__ own Soul? The Soul resides in one__ own abode (body), but one doesn__ know it and then he says, __ know this and I know that so_. Instead why don__ you get to know your own __elf_?

Keep one goal only and that is __o know thy Self [Soul]_. Do not be insistent about __ want to do this and do that_. Whatever happens, at whatever time, is correct.

Who am I?_- Not knowing this is the greatest death to the Soul (one__ own self)!

From time to time, we all must go unto a landscape__e it inner or outer landscape__here there are no hiding places. Allowing the stark awe and silence to aid us in both communing and confronting the depth of ourselves. We fear emptiness because we know that within those places of nothingness we will come face-to-face with who we are and gaze into the internal mirror. But what is the alternative? Shall we go our entire life without hearing our own voice . . . without ever having met who we are when isolated from all?

Who are you? That is what you need to remember.

Courage is the hallmark of spirituality. Courage comes when you love yourself for who you are.

I spent days and nights staring at the blank page, searching the deepest corners of my mind: who have I been, what have I seen, what did I learn? I thought about all the nights I've spent outside, all the times I laid down to cry and how I took a deep breath every morning and decided to simply go on. Because what else is there to do? Decide that this is it? I quit, I'm done? Oh if I could find words to justify those feelings I've carried. I could write the thickest of books with explosions of emotions from a young girl's lost heart. I could make you see, make you hear, make you feel, at least a tiny fragment of what's out there.

I am Chandubhai_ is an illusion itself and from that are karmas charged. When does __harging_ of new karmas stop? When one attains the exact awareness of __ho I am?_.

In life we do not attract what we want, we attract who we are.

Do not let go of your right to make your own decisions, because by doing so you are letting go of who you really are.

Who do you love more, your thoughts or God?
