A DIALOGUE
'Hello there...

Kindly explain a bit further, this self inquiry question, "who am I?"
How am I suppose to answer this question?
What does it mean?
How is this question different from the following:
"To whom has this come"?
How is my personal I different from my Impersonal I?
How is the I different from the Self?
Kindly share some light on this for me.
Thank you'
'The idea behind self-enquiry is based on Sri Ramana's experience.

As a young school boy he underwent a 'death' of his personality while his true Being was arising. He therefore taught that if we could stay with the sense of 'I' while ignoring all we are used to attach to it, like 'my body', 'my will', personality etc., the basic 'I'-thought will sink into its source, the eternal true Being; we can equate this Being with God (remember the many 'I'am quotes in the Old and New Testament). -
Therefore it is not your task to give an answer to the question but you can let this attitude of enquiry, of listening, act on you. The answer will come from the Being itself.'
