WHO AM I? Am I a mind or body or Self? This is the most difficult question.

Updated: Jan 7, 2021

Philosophers have provided various answers to this question, But the most satisfactory answer to this question is provided by the Upanishads/ Vedanta philosophy. This allows me to know the limitations of my mind and body. The more I try to understand the mechanism of my mind and body, then I become closer to my witness consciousness (Sakshi Chaitanya). Reality has no name, can't be defined through the sense organs. I know the limitations of the mind and body at the same time I am aware of the transcendental nature of the SELF (Satyam jnanam anantam Brhaman- it is truth, wisdom, and infinity). Therefore, it is said that I am neither a mind nor a body nor has anything to with sense organs. I am nothing but a SELF. Understanding the SELF does not mean the denial or rejection of mind, body, and sense organs. By knowing the SELF, I know the mind and its impurities created by the mind. The witness consciousness is pure, the light of all lights (jyotisam jyotih), full of energy, positive etc.
