Will you not have to investigate who you really are? For
how long can you go on being in the dark, unaware of your real
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.
Even before you purchased this watch, did you not inquire
about its make, quality, price, warranty, etc.? Then, is it not
ironic that you have not made inquires about your own Self yet?
Who are you? You have no knowledge about your true identity,
where you come from, and where you are. You know none of
these things and even without knowing the answer to this one
vital question, “Who am I?” you complicate your life further, by actively participating in this relative world. In this state of
ignorance you further complicate your life by getting married,
having a family, etc. This is how confusion and puzzles arise in
the relative world.
Even when you fall asleep at night, you do so as Chandulal.
All night long this wrong belief reinforces itself, becoming stronger
and stronger. Only when you realize the answer to the question
“Who am I?” does your wrong belief stop. It is because of this
wrong belief that you have been wandering from one life to
another. You do not know your true identity and furthermore
you impress upon yourself, the belief of that which you are not.
You have imposed this wrong belief on your Real Self. In
addition, you have also accepted the notion, “I am Chandulal,”
and, as a result, have behaved accordingly. This false accusation
is a blunder. This blunder is the root cause of all suffering. This
suffering comes in the form of inner restlessness, misery, and
discontentment. At the moment, you have so many worries
caused by your false belief of, “I am Chandulal.” This false
imposition on the Self is ignorance, and brings forth suffering.
