Who do you think you are?
I think that I’m not the “I.” I think that I’m silence and bliss, absolute
and unbounded eternal, never dying, unchanging, and one with all that is
in unity. It’s only my mind that gets in the way of me knowing who I am.
I love what Nisargadatta Maharaj said, “That I am that.”
How we come to that is different for everyone. It’s interesting to
hear how Nisargadatta Maharaj came to this. Let me share a quick story
from his book The Sense of “I am.”
When I met my Guru, he told me, “You are not what you
take yourself to be. Find out what you are. Watch the sense I
am, find your real Self.” I obeyed him, because I trusted him.
I did as he told me. All my spare time I would spend looking
at myself in silence. And what a difference it made, and how
soon!
