I















I

This name 
if you haven't noticed
is everyone's name..
To find our identity
all that is needed is to
consider our name..
Why do each of us
have the same name..?
after all..we all seem 
so different..
Does I really mean I..?
We must take notice:
I seems vast
but also seems limited
and located
and moving to and fro
and with this notion
we seem to forget 
our Name..
That's about it..!

(All religions are formed
after someone notices..)


Bhagavan [Ramana Maharshi] said, “In the vision of death, though all the senses were benumbed, the aham sphurana (Self-awareness) was
clearly evident, and so I realised that it was that awareness that we call ‘I’, and not the body. This Self-awareness never decays. It is unrelated to anything. It is Self-luminous. Even if this body is burnt, it will not be affected. Hence, I realised on that very day so clearly that that was ‘I’.”
