Namaste, It does posit two subjects, I and Brahman. I can't find the actual Maharshi quote but he indicated the same, " Q: Am I to keep on repeating 'Who am I?' so as to makes a mantra of it? A: No. 'Who am I?' is not a mantra. It means that you must find out where in you arises the 'I'-thought, which is the source of all other thoughts. Q: Shall I meditate on 'I am Brahman' [Aham Brahmasmi]? A: The text is not meant for thinking 'I am Brahman'. Aham ['I'] is known to every one. Find out the 'I'. The 'I' is already Brahman. You need not think so. Simply find out the 'I'. " ................ONS...Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
