Who I am?

The question “Who am I?” is not really meant to get an answer, the question “Who am I?” is meant to dissolve the questioner. ~Ramana Maharishi

The journey has somehow become painless; no tears no rupture, the exploration adjourned and I am hanging around. I know the wait is a lie, an illusion and a hostile situation where one get stacked within own reflection of incompetent thoughts. I am in no rush to appease my physical presence, I am to remain awaken.

People, places and situations has immensely transformed during all these years. Seen different shades of emotions, contrasting behaviors and offbeat reactions from all nears & dears. I myself have gone through these awful phase. We many a times submit ourselves to substantial baggage; we fight many combat without being aware the purpose of being around. It’s like two cars fighting to damage there bumpers, vexing to dent each other and the best part is the owner of the car is sleeping or unconscious. Now it is enough; I don’t want to be a car, I want to drive my own vehicle by being more conscious and awake.

“Two identical birds that are eternal companions perch in the very same tree. One eats many fruits of various tastes. The other only witnesses without eating” ~ Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1

Birds are two aspects of the same reality. The bird that eats and enjoy is jivatman, the individual soul, and the bird who is rather observing is a paramatman, a pure consciousness. The pure consciousness is the only truth and what we are. We can walk through the physical world; we can travel in our dreams, but the one observing us during all these times is truthfulness.
