Our True Nature? Lets Take An Inner Dive
Now let us take a logical peep into ourselves in an attempt to ascertain the belief about our true nature which we normally think ourselves to be!
When somebody questions “Who are you?" or if you question yourself out of sheer curiosity, “Who am I?"what would the immediate response be?
“Sita," our name is the first think that pops up in immediate response. But the answer denotes the name and not the true self, or the bearer of the name!
So again, the question comes up, “Who are you?"
We say, “I am a doctor". The answer denotes the profession and not the self.
So the question shoots up again, “Who are you?"
We may now say “I am Mr. Krishnan's daughter," only to point out to one of the statuses of our myraid forms of relationships.
We then tend to come up with a more definite answer, that we think to be. “I am a female" This again points to the gender of the person and not the self.
So what else can we think of ourselves to be? If we say, 'I am a Brahmin," it simply denotes one's caste, and not one's self.
We will in the course of coming up with answers, find out that whatever we assume ourselves to be,it would be mere adjuncts and nothing more, failing to reveal yet another dimension which would be our true identity.
