There is more to life than just living. There has got to be more to life than to just live. There should be a higher purpose in life. The purpose of life is to come to the real answer of ‘Who am I?’ This is the unanswered question of infinite previous lives. The missing links of the search for ‘Who am I?’ are now being provided through the words of the Gnani Purush (the enlightened One )

Will you not have to investigate who you really are? How long can you go on being in the dark unaware of your Self? Do you not think it is ignorance to not investigate your true identity?

Until you realize who you really are, everything proves to be wrong and incorrect.

Atma and anatma, the Self and the non-Self are two separate entities. They have not become one, but they are ‘stuck’ to each other. How? Through the illusion of false interest. Through the illusion that deludes into believing that the taste is indeed sweet. This belief that life is real is the illusion and is called bhrantirasa. The delusional belief that I am the ‘doer’ arises as a consequence of this bhrantirasa, and therefore the Self and the non- Self have become stuck to each other. Where did this bhrantiras come from? The moment one says, “I did it,” the ras (cohesion of the sweet juice, life is sweet) of Atma and anatma occurs. This rasa, the juice is so sticky that even if it has been there for years, it will not lose its bonding power, so how can we even begin to talk about the additional rasa that is created every day.

A Gnani can dissolve all the wrong beliefs, and separate Atma and anatma. Then the Self remains in its natural state and the non-self remains in its natural state. As long as there is ego, through illusion, one will always say, “I am the doer and I am also the knower”, “I did this and I know this”. They will speak in this manner. When the feeling of “I am the ‘doer’” and “I am the knower” are together, it is gneya (a thing to be known), and that itself is called the illusion (bhranti). And when the feeling “I am the Knower and the Seer” is not associated with “I am the doer”; that is state is the Knower (gnayak).
