We have our own unique way to realise who we are, what our purpose is and how to find happiness. The question of ‘Who we are inside’ or ‘Who am I’ does not seem important to those who appear to have found happiness in the external world.

Because they feel happy, they have no interest in searching further. The question of ‘who am I’ usually only comes to those who have suffered and who know the answer to finding happiness is somewhere inside.

In trying to answer this question of ‘who am I,’ first we have to ask and find out ‘what we are not. ’ Eventually we see ‘what we are not’ is simply our thoughts, our ego.

With determined questioning of ‘Who’ is asking, we may uncover and recognise ourself without thoughts, and see only one thing is left . .

. our awareness of our true Self.

Blissful though this may be for a time, this state of awareness is only temporary because our thoughts, our ego does not give up trying to hide the true inner Self we have seen and are now intermittently aware of. With continuing effort, uncovering who we are becomes present more of the time during our daily living.

The experience of time without thoughts, of just awareness of being, becomes more frequent. .
