‘Who am ‘I?’- inquiry does not help to expose the unreal nature of the ‘I’.+

Deeper inquiry into the nature of the ‘I’ and free the invisible Soul from the illusory bondage of the ‘I’.

‘Who am ‘I?’- inquiry does not help to expose the unreal nature of the ‘I’.

"Who am I?” inquiry has no dynamic, direct, universal appeal because it is based on the individual who is part and parcel of the illusory universe.

The Self-inquiry is to know ‘what is this ‘I’ is supposed to be in actuality.

It is erroneous to limit the ‘I’ is within the body. Thinking the ‘I’ is within the body and inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’ will not help to unfold the mystery of the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ hides the reality of nondualistic existence. The nature of nondualistic existence is the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.

There is no ‘I’ in Atmic reality. The ‘I’ is merely an illusion. Whatever belongs to the ‘I’ is merely an illusion.

The ‘I’ is merely an illusion created out of the invisible Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

‘I’ is not the subject. The ‘I’ is an object to the invisible Soul, which is the formless, timeless, and spaceless subject.

Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the world in which you exist is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the three states are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the form, time, and space are bound to be an illusion.

If the I’ is an illusion, then the individual experience of birth, life, and death is bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ itself is an illusion, then the words and thoughts are bound to be an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is an illusion, then the duality is bound to be an illusion.

The seeker has to make sure what this ‘I’ is supposed to be. The seeker has to make sure the unreal nature of the ‘I’, which comes and goes, to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space

That is why Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)

The ‘I’ hides the invisible and unborn Soul, the Self, which is the cause of the 'I'.

Remember:~

Who am I, -inquiry is not Self-inquiry. The ‘Self-inquiry’ is finding out the ‘Self’ hidden by the 'I'.

By inquiring, ‘Who am I?’- ignorance will not vanish because Who am 'I',- inquiry is based on the individual who is part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya.

Sage Sankara: ~ VC-63- "Without knowing and examining the universe, one can’t know the Truth, as the idea that the external world exists, won't go. It can only go by an inquiry into the nature of the universe.

If the inquiry does not include the universe, then it is incomplete.

Without getting rid of ignorance, the Advaitic wisdom will not dawn. Without Advaitic wisdom, it is not possible to realize the invisible Soul, the Self hidden by ignorance.  :~Santthosh Kumaar
