When you say, “My name is Chandulal” and then you turn around and say “I am Chandulal”. Do you think there is a contradiction in this?
You are Chandulal right now. In this Chandulal there is both ‘I’ and ‘My’. They are like the two railway lines of ‘I’ and ‘My’; they always run together yet they are always separate. They are always parallel and never become one. Despite this you believe them to be one. This is due to the ignorance or unawareness of your true identity. Having understood this, separate the ‘My’. Keep all that comes under ‘My’ to one side. For example, ‘My heart’, “My wife”, “My watch”, “My mind”, “My intelligence” etc. Keep them on one side. If you keep on deducting “My” from “I”, at every step and level and put all the things that fall under ‘My’ on one side, then only ‘I’ will remain. That ‘I’, is precisely what you are. That is the ‘I’ that you need to realize. It is only through meeting a Gnani Purush that one acquires this science of separation.
