Who Am I?

How many of you have ever wondered what exactly is your true self?

I know it may sound boring to most of us, after all, who has time to find out about concepts like "true self"! We are more interested in what the latest fad is, the latest celebrity news, the newest political scandal, the hottest gossips.

But we don't pay attention to what's truly important! We don't see what's right in front of us because we are so busy seeing everything else but this. We listen to whatever we want to listen to and kinda neglect what is there for real.

For instance; if someone from a village goes to a city, then the noise of the city, which the people there are not used to listening to, would bother him for some time. For us, it's normal as we are used to it.

We are all used to fast-paced traffic like this.

Likewise, if we go to a village then the silence there will overpower us and will grab our attention but not the common village people's.

This silence is deafening!

SO just like this, I may say a thing or two but you will understand what you want to understand due to the numerous filters we all have within us.

I will say something, people will understand something else, and they will then explain something entirely different. The Chinese Whisper!

So, the number one priority for anybody who's on the spiritual path is to know what their ultimate goal of life is.

To be Free from all Kinds of Bondage!

Now I will say something in very simple language, try to let this go as deep as you can. You don't have to free yourself from any kind of bondage in life; YOU ARE FREE already.

Read it again!

That is the ultimate goal of SPIRITUALITY; not to be free from anything but understanding that we are already free. There actually is no bondage. There is nothing holding you back!

You already are INFINITE! Everything's inside you. Try to grasp the real sense of infinite. Try imagining how enormously big this INFINITY is!

Yup; that's you! That's all of us. It really is a shame that we, who are INFINITE, consider ourselves finite, mortal beings, who are doomed to death one day.

Whenever we are gloomy or morose or something, then the problem lies in our own understanding. We are something else, but we misunderstand ourselves with something entirely different.

Once we understand what we are and what we are NOT, then we just have to drop the things we are NOT (at the level of understanding only, not at the physical level).

In fact, you don't even have to drop anything, once we understand it, it will automatically get detached from yourself. Once you truly understand who you really are, then you won't even have to hold on to it. It will effortlessly come to you.

You don't get up every morning and do anything to convince yourself that you are your name or your body. Because that's what has been fed to you right from the beginning!

The problem is our understandings are stuck till here only. We haven't yet seen what's beyond the body. We don't even know if there is anything beyond the physical body!

And why don't we know our true selves? Because no one told us so, no one talks about it anywhere, in any kind. You won't be taught this in your school, college, or at your home.

Discussions like this with friends is almost non-existent and considered to be old school or boring.

Everyone is just busy filling up their pockets and hustling to provide for their families, which is not a bad thing at all. But hey if that's all we are doing, then what's the difference between us and other animals?

Let's take a monkey who is standing in front of a mirror. He is seeing his own image and is trying to fight it off. Will he ever be able to win?

Well, of course not, because he is unable to understand that both are the same thing and because he lacks this understanding he is unable to take the right action. Quite similar is the case with we humans. We also believe in something else, instead of trying to understand the truth.

The only actual difference between a monkey and a human is in UNDERSTANDING. Otherwise, we are exactly the same. We both have eyes, brains, consciousness. So, it's about time we elevate our understanding to the level it was meant to be at.
