Who am I versus Whence am I

[Guest guest]

Ramana Maharshi suggested both "Who am I" and "Whence

am I" forms of inquiry. They can actually both go

together. "Whence am I" is very powerful but "Who am

I" has caught on more as Sri Ramana emphasized it over

and over again and for good reasons. In Sanskrit "Who

am I" is translated as "Kohum". "Who am I" can

naturally lead to looking into the "whereness of the

hereness!"

 

There are other forms of inquiry as well which could

be used. If I recall correctly our own Jerry Katz had

come with "Why am I" which many liked very much as

well.

 

What ever the inquiry, when the inquirer vanishes,

everything goes.

 

Love to all

Harsha
