WHO AM ‘I’, -inquiry creates lots of confusion. When the Self is not you but the invisible Soul, which is genderless, then it is not He/She. Therefore, using the word ‘I AM’ for the Self is erroneous.

Deeper self-search reveals that the Self is not the ‘I’, therefore ‘WHO AM I? inquiry will not help to unfold the truth beyond the form, time, and space.

The one who holds the ‘I’ as the Self will never be able to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Thus, it is necessary to realize first that the Self is not 'I', but the Self is the invisible Soul, the formless cause of the ‘I’.

The ‘I-centric Gurus and their teachings cannot be used as a yardstick on the path of wisdom.

The ‘I-centric teachings will not lead the seeker to the ultimate end of his inner journey.

Inborn conditioning is the cause of ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of experiencing the illusory duality as reality.

Inborn conditioning is present in the form of ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind.

The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as the invisible Soul in deep sleep (non-duality).

Thus, it is necessary to get rid of the inborn conditioning to get rid of ignorance.

Thus, only through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is it possible to get rid of ignorance. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
