WHO AM I?
by Atman Nityananda
Who or rather what am I?
Am I my thoughts and feelings?
Thoughts and feelings are ever changing, coming and going like clouds in the sky blown by the wind.
If my Self were a particular thought or a particular feeling, then which one could I be?
And when these are absent,
Who am I, or rather What am I?
Am I then the thoughts and feelings?
Or that in which they arise?
That which is aware of them?
But what is that in which the feelings and thoughts arise and are aware?
Nothing concrete, but.immediate in experience as a silent still, unchanging presence in which everything has life, arises and dives,. comes and goes.
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
