"I" - Ahom

Ahom – "I" – Atom – Ahom Brahmasmi

One is constantly needled by the term - it is not for me, I did it for…….. The “I” is omnipotent there. Did I do it for……, or did I do it so that I benefit by that person benefiting?

It is an unexpressed thought. It is finally “I” who benefit, in some long drawn out manner, albeit most in the immediate future.

Is it necessary to post the “I” after the others, as we are customized to think? Or is it the law of nature that “I” precedes everything else? YES, if scriptures are to be believed.

“Thatwamasi” – You are thy own god, is the under lying essence of Hinduism. The Bible says “the kingdom of thy own gods thou shall find in thy own hearts” (not Ad Verbatim).

The constant search for ‘I’, the import of that word, what it encompasses, is codified in these words – Who are you? What are you?. It is this search which leads us on, simply referred to as ‘enlightenment’.

The rest are merely paths to help us grope our way through!!!
