Who am I?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The question 'Who am I?' is not meant to be answered; it is a journey into the depths of your being, where knowing transcends words and becomes a profound silence filled with wonder and joy."
According to Osho, 'Who am I?' cannot be answered conceptually; the self is an ineffable mystery. Use the question as a meditative quest until it moves from thought to your very marrow. When inquiry becomes total, the question dissolves and you know by being, not by saying, expressed as silence, wonder, gratitude, and joy.
Keep gently asking 'Who am I?' until the words drop and you feel the answer inside—like tasting sugar instead of talking about it.
