GOD   IS   'EXISTENCE'.   'I-AM'   IS   'SENSE   OF   EXISTENCE',   AND   'I AM   AN   INDIVIDUAL'   IS   'MIND'.  


AN   ANALOGY:   WATER   IS   BRAHMAN.   OCEAN   IS   I-CONSCIOUSNESS.   THE   SEA   OF   WAVES   IS   "I-AM".   THE   INDIVIDUAL   WAVE   IS   'I-AM  AN  INDIVIDUAL'.


I-AM   EXPRESSES   CONCEPTS   IN   A   HOMOGENOUS   FORM.   INDIVIDUAL    (MIND)    SPLITS   THE   CONCEPTS,   ADDING   NAMES   AND   FORMS,   CAUSE   AND   EFFECT  AND   TIME  AND  SPACE. 


THE   INDIVIDUAL  MIND  SHOULD    ESTABLISH   IDENTITY INITIALLY,  WITH  'I AM',  AND     THROUGH   'I-AM',..WITH  I-CONSCIOUSNESS.


"I"   HAS   NO   CONCEPT   WHATSOEVER.   "I AM"   HAS   HOMOGENOUS   CONCEPTS.   "I AM AN INDIVIDUAL'  (MIND)    HAS   CONFLICTING   CONCEPTS.   "INDIVIDUALITY"   IS   EGOISTIC   FEELING   OF   'DOER SHIP   AND   'ENJOYER SHIP'    ENTERTAINED   BY   MIND.


OUTLIVE   'INDIVIDUALITY,   REPLACING   DOERSHIP   WITH   'DOING';   REPLACING   ENJOYERSHIP   WITH   'ENJOYMENT.    THEN,   YOU   COME   TO   THE   LEVEL   OF   'I AM AN  INDIVIDUAL'.   REALIZE  THE   ONENESS   OF   CONCEPTS   ENTERTAINED  BY  THE   'INDIVIDUAL',  AND  EXPERIENCE  THE  STAGE  OF   'I AM'.. 



RISE   ABOVE   THE   CONFLICTS   IN   THOUGHTS.   FEEL   HARMONY   AND   ONENESS   WITH  EVERY   INDIVIDUAL.   THIS   IS   THE   FIRST   STEP  FOR   AN   'INDIVIDUAL'   TO   BE   ONE   WITH   'I AM'.  .

PLURALITY   AND   DIVERSITY   RELATE   TO   INDIVIDUAL   MIND.   'ONENESS';   RELATES   TO   'I AM'.  ABSENCE   OF   CONCEPTS   ALTOGETHER,   RELATES   TO   "I-CONSCIOUSNESS".

REALITY   IS   IMMOVABLE   WHEREAS  MIND   WITH   THOUGHTS  AND   CONFLICTING   CONCEPTS,   MOVES  LIKES   FIERCE   WAVES   ON   THE   OCEAN   OF   CALMNESS.  RISE   ABOVE   THE   CONFLICTS   IN   THOUGHTS.   THE   FIERCENESS   OF   THE   WAVE   SHALL   COOL   DOWN.   YOU   SHALL  BE   ONE   WITH  THE   INNUMERABLE  WAVES   IN   GENTLE   MOVEMENT,   ON   THE   OCEAN.


ON  THE  SURFACE  OF  THE  OCEAN,  THERE   EXIST   INNUMERABLE   WAVES,   THE   MOVEMENT   OF   WHICH   IS   GENTLE.   THERE   IS   NO   SEPARATENESS   AMONG  WAVES.   A   HARMONY   IS   PRESENT   AMONG   THEM.   THIS   IS   TAKEN   AS   AN   ANALOGY   FOR   'I AM,    WHERE   CONCEPTS  HAVE   NO   CONFLICT,   AND   HAPPINESS   PREVAILS.


WHEN   WAVES   ARE   TURBULENT.   EACH   ONE   FEELS   AS   IF   IT  HAS   A   SEPARATE   IDENTITY   WITH   A   STRUCTURE   OF   NAME   AND   FORM ,   BIG   AND   SMALL.   THIS   ANALOGY   IS   TO   INDICATE   'I AM  AN   INDIVIDUAL'   WITH     CONCEPTS   'I'   AND   'YOU',   AND    VIEWING   EVERY   OBJECT   IN   DUAL   AND   CONFLICTING   NATURE.



LIFE   NEVER   UNDERGOES   AGING,  WHEREAS 'LIVING'  DOES.



DIVISION   WITHOUT   SEPARATENESS,  IS   THE   ULTIMATE   OF   THE  ' MIND'.   BEYOND   MIND   IS   THE   SENSE   OF   EXISTENCE,   WHERE  BOTH THE DIVISION AND SEPARATENESS ARE  ABSENT.


   'SENSE   OF   EXISTENCE'   (I AM)   EXPRESSES   HARMONY   AND   HAPPINESS.  

 .

'I AM'  DOES   NOT   MEAN   AN   INDIVIDUAL   WITH   SEPARATE   IDENTITY (FALSE   IDENTITY).  ' I AM   IS   A   HOMOGENOUS   CONCEPT   SIMILAR   TO   SEA   WITH   GENTLE   WAVES   MOVING   IN   HARMONY,   .   I AM   COMPRISES   THE   ENTIRE   COSMOS    IN   HARMONY.    THERE   MAY   BE   APPARENT   DIVISION,   BUT   NO   SEPARATENESS.




I AM   HAS   HAPPINESS   WHEREAS   I  AM  AN   INDIVIDUAL   IS   CAUGHT   IN   EMOTIONS   AND   LIKES/DISLIKES.

OUR   EXPERIENCE   IS   LIMITED   TO   TIME-SPACE,   CAUSE-EFFECT,   NAME-FORM,   AND   IT   CANNOT   REVEAL   REALITY   IN   ITS   FULLNESS.   REALITY   IS   BEYOND   ALL   THESE   PAIRS,   WHICH   CAN   BE   APPROACHED  ONLY   THROUGH   'INTUITION' .   INTUITION   IS   BEYOND   IMPULSE,  INSTINCT,   SENSES,   MIND   AND   INTELLECT.
