Man, the individual, is a bundle of concepts and emotions. Concepts arise in "I am the individual" which is a reflection of "I AM". "I AM' is a sense of existence appearing in "I Consciousness". This 'I Consciousness' is otherwise termed as "Existence", "God", and is the expression of the SUPREME. Thus, one and the same source, expresses, appears and reflects as "I", "I AM" and "I AM the individual". In the 'vedantic languiage', the above aspects are termed as 'Brahman', "Ishwara", 'Viswam' and 'jeevatma'. They are also known by the terms Purushottama, Akshara Purusha, Kshara-Akshara Purusha and Kshara Purusha.
As already said, concepts arise in "I am the individual". Emotions corrupt the individual with a feeling of independent doership and enjoyership ('Karthritwam' and 'bhokthritwam'). When "I am the individual" is corrupted thus, he is known to possess 'Individuality". This 'individuality' entertains concepts and emotions. Concepts and Emotions together disrupts PEACE which is the 'true nature' (swaroopa) of every individual.
The individual mind entertains concepts and the little ego (individuality) brings in emotions. The concepts are general in nature and emotions are individual's reaction to such concepts. Thus man, the individual, is a bundle of concepts and emotions. To mention a few, spirit-matter, day-night, birth-death, male-female, good-bad, small-big, knowledge-ignorance are concepts. Similarly emotions are attraction-repulsion, pleasure-pain, love-hatred. agitation, pride, anger, greed, sacrifice, possessiveness etc.
Through wisdom-knowledge (Understanding), one can come out of the deception of 'individuality' and thereby free himself of the emotions. To be free from 'concepts' is not that easy so long as one has the feeling of 'I am the individual' i.e., body-consciousness ('dehabhodham'). This may be possible in 'nirvikalpa samadhy' or finally when the physical structure falls down in death.
An individual free from individuality through wisdom-knowledge, would view the concepts similar to a dancer witnessing his own dance-movements (swayam sakshi-bhava). The concepts wont disturb the individual's peace since he is contemplatively ever aware of 'I-Consciousness' - his true nature, and he views the concepts as mere appearance.
The entire show of one Supreme Power 'expressing' Consciousness which in turn appearing as Universe and reflecting 'I am the individual' adding a deception of 'individuality' is indeed a mystery.
Let me constantly and continuously entertain the single thought "I AM THAT" (sense of Existence merging with EXISTENCE-Pure) if "THAT" (EXISTENCE) wills so.
