Do not try to know who you are? By inquiring ‘Who am ‘I’, you will never reach the ultimate end of understanding.
Who am 'I'? - inquiry will not yield the truth you are seeking. Without solving the mystery of the universe, the truth will not be revealed.
Bhagavan Buddha:~ There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: not going all the way... and not starting.
The seeker should not waste time sticking to any teaching or guru.
Yoga Vasistha says: ~ “Self-knowledge or knowledge of truth is not had by resorting to a Guru (preceptor) nor by the study of scripture, nor by good works: it is attained only through inquiry inspired by the company of wise (Gnani). One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
Remember:~
You, your experience of the birth, life, and death part and parcel of the illusory universe or Maya.
The Self is not you but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
The Soul or consciousness is the cause of the illusory universe or Maya.
When the universe along with you is created out of consciousness then consciousness, which is the cause of the universe alone is real and eternal.
Ashtavakra Gita: ~” The universe rises from the ‘Self’ like bubbles from the sea. Thus, know the Self to be One and in this way enter into the state of dissolution."
Realizing the world in which you exist is nothing but the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness is Self-realization because the Self is not you but the ‘Self is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
When the Soul remains in its own awareness in the midst of the dualistic illusion (the world in which you exist) is Self-awareness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
