(191) Hamsah -One of the great declarations of the Vedas is: " I am

Brahman " (Aham Brahmaasmi). Here the term I, the first person singular

used, denotes the supreme. Self functioning through the

conditionings. " This individual concept is called jeeva. Thus I, the

Jeeva (Aham), once detached from the conditionings, IS essentially

nothing other than He, the Lord (Sah). This experience that Aham is

Sah is the very God-consciousness and therefore, Vishnu, the Supreme

State of Realization is declared as Hamsah.
