Question 1: Should I go an 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?', '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, 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.
