I Am Not I, Who Am I

I am not who I am! I have a body, but am I the body? I have a mind, but am I the mind? I have an ego, but am I the ego? Who is the me that I am? Am I a butterfly? No that’s not me. Am I a bee? No that’s not me. Am I a tree? No that’s not me. I am me! Who is the me that I am? I am not who I think I am I am an Indian – No, that's my nationality I am a Hindu – No, that's my religion I am a male – No, that's my gender I am not who I think I am! I am not my car I know what I am not I am not my house I know what I am not What I am not, I know But I know not who I am I have eyes that can see But the eyes are not me I have limbs that can walk But it's not me who does the talk These are mine, but not me Who is the me that I am? I am not the Ego That’s my identity I am not the body and mind That’s not ME I am the Holistic Energy I am “HE” I am not the ‘I’ that I thought I was Who am I? I know who I am.
