does the I refer to the ego or the Atman?

 

 

D: In the enquiry "Who am I?", does the I

refer to the ego or the Atman?

 

Maharshi : In the enquiry, 'I' refers to the ego.

 

D: Are my present qualities of faith, humility and surrender

sufficiently intense, or are they still very imperfect and

require further development? If so, how can I quickly

develop them to perfection so as to deserve Grace and

early success in the realization of Atman, or in the annihilation

of the ego?

 

M: Do not entertain such thoughts of imperfection,

lack of qualities, etc. You are already perfect.

Get rid of the ideas of imperfection and need

for development. There is nothing to realize or

annihilate. You are the Self. The ego does not exist.

Pursue the enquiry and see if there is anything to be

realized or annihilated. See if there is any mind to be

controlled. Even the effort is being made by the mind

which does not exist.

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal

Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously

arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a.
