>From 'Day by Day with Bhagavan', Vol.II, Sri Ramanasramam; 1957

3-1-46 Afternoon

Question [1st of 5 questions from Mr. Joshi]: Should I go on asking 'Who am I?'

without answering? Who asks whom? Which bhavana (attitude) should be in the

mind at the time of enquiry? What is 'I', the Self or the Ego?

Answer: In the enquiry 'Who am I?', the 'I' is the ego. The question really

means, what is the source or origin of this Ego? You need not have any bhavana

in the mind. All that is required is, that you must give up the bhavana that

you are the body, of such and such a description, with such and such a name

etc. There is no need to have a bhavana about your real nature. It exists as it

always does; it is real and no bhavana. (p. 96)

Regards,

Miles
