61.
Inquire into the validity of
the fundamental concept of
your individuality,
the
‘I am’, and it will disappear,
then you are Parabrahman, the
Absolute.
If what you believe
yourself to be at present
is false, what is the
means to be adopted in
order
to
realize your true
identity?
Self-inquiry is the means
that the Guru suggests;
you have to inquire into
the
question:
‘Who am I?’
As
you do so you come to the
fundamental concept of
‘beingness’ or the ‘I am’
on
which rests everything.
You are now told to
meditate on this ‘I am’,
stay here, abide in it for
a reasonable
amount of time.
As your ‘Sadhana’
(practice) matures, a day
will come when the ‘I am’
will
disappear and then you are
Absolute.
Through negation you
assert your true being,
try to perceive the
affirmation
hidden in the negation of
‘I am’.
