who am I?
who are you?

These are really open ended questions...But that clever philosopher will know the exact answer.

Who Am I - Casting Crowns (w/ lyrics) - YouTube

The Who - Who Are You Lyrics (FULL VERSION) - YouTube

The confusion can only explode slowly, for almost everyone has this q and a. Oprah show says the moment you ask this question to yourself, you ARRIVE at the door of spirituality. and here it goes another show says spirituality is a song. and that Chopra says he will analyse from deep within. Vivekananda ( wonder how much anand he gets ) in dividing this question into 4 chapters!!

By the time you try to find that clever answer, you are told you are not what you do, but what you have done...

So at basic psychology level, i feel it can lift up someone with deranged personality. But can leave another in the border of aversion and agression.

My question is Why do we need to ask these questions?

The same reason why we ask "why do we need to ask these questions"!LOL


We humans are always seeking something..we always wish to know something more about anything.

There seems to be an innate tilt in the equilibrium of our mind.

It strives hard to seek and to go beyond what is visible hoping to reach a state of non flux.

Doubt is always lingering in the mind.

Even when we love someone we still ask the person "Do you love me?"

We hope to hear an answer mostly what we want to hear.

So to the question "Who am I"....There is no answer cos in the state of no flux there is no one to ask and no one to answer yet the answer is in the question itself.

Namaste Sandhya,

Usually an advaitin does 'Atma Vicharana' of this kind - "who am I? who are you?" and arrives at the conclusion that "I" am no different from "You". It helps them in their progress to understand this core principle of advaita thus.
