Who Are You

“I” is the most powerful word. It is because; “I” is the center of our being. Just think it in this way— Every day how many times we use that “I” word during explaining ourselves. And everything whatever we say after that “I”, those we really think about ourselves, that is what we are (we think). And can you imagine what we are putting around that “I”? Like, “I have this”, “I do this”, “I have this”, so many “I”‘s are there. But between those I’s what “I” is true? Means, what is the real definition of you, me? Who are we? Who I am? Are we the combination of those “I”’s? I don’t think so. If it is true than we are so many of those things. But if we cut all of those things out, means all those being, having and doing part from that “I”, and then there will be the “I” alone. And this “I” is the core of everything and everyone. This “I” is you, me, everything, the entire universe. (Think it in this way). And the “I” is always the “I” for everyone. That’s why in Sanskrit, the “I” is called “Aham”, means “ego”. We can say that “I” is the starting of all egos if you look at the “I” in those ways. But with a clear understanding if u tries to look at the “I” as it is nothing less or nothing more, then you can see that “I” is anything and everything. That means that whatever eye you put on that “I”, it will see whatever you want to see. Whatever shape you want to give to the “I”, it will take its shape. Ok!! Let me explain it in another way. How we can see by our eyes? With the help of brain, isn’t it? But you know that brain is an analytical machine. So if you can, not see but look, without the interruption of our brain, then you can find that the “I” is everything, “I” is you, me, nature, consciousness, God, Universe everything. It is the center of our being. So now can you understand the answer of the question, who are you?
