Whatever you try to become that is not
you,
before
even the words ‘I am’ were said, that
is you.
Just look at this mad pursuit that
you have been indulging in or have
been
conditioned to indulge in by
society: ‘I am so-and-so’, ‘I must
become this’
or ‘I must become that’ - ambition,
status, name, fame and what
not!
It’s
quite unnatural; you are trying to
become what you are not.
Even
before you could say or feel the ‘I
am’, you are!
This feeling ‘I am’ has appeared on
your True state and is dependent,
transient and false.
The identification of the ‘I am’
with the body has completely tricked
you
and now you are trapped.
Understand
all this and get out of it.
