What is the use of saying I AM THAT when the‘Self’ is not you, but the Self is the invisible and genderless Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness?
People say I AM THAT ~ I am God, I am Brahman. But when Brahman is, how can 'I' remain? Only Brahman remains, not 'I'; it is erroneous to use the word ‘I’ for the Self, because ‘I’ represents the form, time, and space, whereas the invisible Soul, the Self, is a formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ The permanent is always there, only the transient ‘I’ comes and goes. (2.18)
The ‘I’ disappears as the invisible Soul in deep sleep, so what is the use of being attached to it? It is impermanent and illusory because ‘I’ is physical awareness. Physical awareness is not Self-awareness. ‘I-less awareness is Self-awareness.
Bhagavad Gita: ~ “You must first see the ‘I’ as illusory before you see others as illusory. ~ CH.2 v.16
It is erroneous to identify the invisible Soul, the Self as 'I' or 'I AM' because the invisible Soul, the Self, is not 'I' or I AM’. The Soul, the Self, is that witness of the 'I'.
To realize the false nature of the ‘I’, the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, or Atma Gnana is necessary.
The Self is not ‘I’, but the Self is the Soul, which is the witness of the ‘I’. Holding the ‘I as the Self leads to hallucination based on the imagination: ~ Santthosh Kumaar
