Self-enquiry involves awareness of one s self by asking questions such as:
I.Who am I? : I am a human Being. Human component which is unique has unique worth outside and being component which is the core
or the centre is united inside. Essentially, I am unique outside -united inside. Hence, every human being has unique worth on this planet, but we are all connected and united in the centre. Every thought, feeling & action has ripple effect in the existence.
WHO YOU ARE THE HUMAN BEING
THE HUMAN PART
Unique body & mind – with time & space
consciousness.
THE BEING PART
“Universal presence”
without the time & space consciousness.
Consciousness or awareness of time and space is species specific to genetic memory and can be different to animal or plants and environmental perceptions. Consciousness is a epiphenomena of genetic world.
II. What am I? : I am made of atomic stuff like anything else in this existence. I am superficially represented as body, mind and emotions in our ecosystem. I am deeply represented by atomic stuff or spirit.
III. Where am I? : I am on this planet as a living being in this infinite existence. We need to remember we are pure beings living on this planet. This can be experienced when we are in outer space, where we are able to see human being as a part of the environment or planet, hence the concept of ecological self.
IV. How am I? : I am a species- specific living- being with relative and limited perception and can be in perception- less state for example during deep sleep, the womb life. (Intrauterine life)
V.Why am I? : I am here on this planet to enjoy a transient or temporary journey, during which I need to create meaning to life and contribute towards society.
What we experience is lower self/truth outside which is superficially made of physical self, psychological self, emotional self and ecological
self. What we really are, is higher self/truth inside pure self /ever-present self / Para Brahman /Allah etc….
