Which One Is That ‘You’?
The true 'you' is not the body-mind-ego but the pure awareness that witnesses all experience—the I Am that is always present and knows its own existence.
Who is all of this about? Who has all of this been about? Which one is that ‘you’? Of course, all of this has been about ‘you’ but which one is that ‘you’? Is that ‘you’ the one that has a house in this world or even that ‘you’ which is homeless in this world? It is never been about that, so do not apply this to that. Do not try to force fit this into that. This is how you trouble yourself. It may become a spiritual expectation ‘that now I have to be…’ like how will a body-mind be open and empty? Like what is the open and empty body look like? But ‘You’ can fathom this. What is the unborn for that which is born in this world? What is the unborn for that one? The unborn does not apply to that one. So all of this has been about ‘You.’ All of this has been Your dream but not the dream character's dream. So do not try to fit this into that one's construct. That which you call yourself, that which name your parents or whoever may have given you, it is not that one’s dream. This is the dream of the One that has no name. That is You.
Key Teachings
- The 'you' we commonly refer to is the ego identification with body, mind and thoughts—not the true Self
- The real 'I' is the pure awareness or consciousness that witnesses all experiences without being identified with them
- Self-inquiry (Who am I?) reveals the false self and points directly to the eternal nature of the Self
