WHO AM I?

Video with Sri Bhagavan: 27.4.2010



"Basically at the psychological level, you are the question 'who am I?' You are the question. And once the question goes, you are gone with it. If there's a question, you are there - no question, you are not there. So by asking 'who am I?' You are sustaining the I. There is no answer to this question. If the questioner realizes there is no answer, the question will disappear and along with that the questioner also is gone. Now what happens in that case: suppose you are gone, but how do you know that you are there in the first place? What happens from now on is, the observer becomes the observed. You are defined by what is being observed. Suppose you are in a room - the television, the walls, the lighting, the people around - because they are there, you are there.

Remove them, you are gone. In other words the teaching here is, the observer is the observed. Let us say, there is a tree - because there is a tree, you come into existence. The tree only defines it. In other words: you are the tree. Because there's a wall, you come into existence. The wall is what you have become. You are the wall. You are the tree. You are other people. The observer has become the observed. This is for the enlightened person. But if you go into a still higher state of Oneness - still higher state - then you will actually become the tree. You will experience the tree breathing. You will actually become the wall."

Who am I?
I am what I create.
