Who am I?

If Space is the ultimate Reality, indestructible, unchanging, ever-present, and independent of individual perception, then the fundamental inquiry of human life is to discover this very Space within oneself.

The journey of self-discovery begins with the question, "Who am I?" Ordinarily, a human being identifies with the body, mind, thoughts, emotions, memories, beliefs, and personal history. This constructed identity is referred to as the individual "I" or ego. However, this "I" is not natural or eternal; it is a psychological construct formed through experiences, conditioning, and identification. Being created, it is temporary and therefore artificial.

Beyond this artificial identity lies an inner Space, the same Reality that pervades the entire universe. The Space within is not different from the Space outside. They are not two separate entities but one indivisible Reality, appearing as inner and outer only because of the limitations of perception and thought.

The seeker, or the individual "I," undertakes the inward journey in search of this Reality. As the inquiry deepens, the seeker gradually recognizes that all thoughts, emotions, and personal identities are transient appearances arising within the Space of awareness. The closer one comes to Reality, the weaker the artificial "I" becomes.

The culmination of this journey is paradoxical: the traveller who began the search does not arrive as an individual. Instead, the traveller dissolves into the very Reality that was being sought. In the presence of the Real, the artificial "I" cannot remain, just as darkness cannot remain in the presence of light.

When the false ‘I’ dissolves, only the infinite Self remains.

When the journey ends, what remains is only Space, pure, boundless, silent, and ever-present. This is the Real "I": not the personal self, but the universal Self that is all-pervading and timeless.

Thus, self-realization is not the attainment of something new; it is the dissolution of the false and the recognition of what has always been present. It is the transformation of human selfhood into Divine Selfhood, not by becoming something else, but by realizing one's eternal identity with Reality itself.

In this understanding, Space is Divinity, and to truly know oneself is to realize that one is not separate from that Divine Reality.
