This inner excursion of mine thus far, with its logic and reasoning has practically negated my entire existence. It's definitely not helping my ego. I’ve been pinching myself every now and then – ouch – just to confirm that I’m real or at least my body is real.
Well, I know that I’m not this body and I’m not this mind; that’s two down and one to go. Which brings me to my next proposition – I am the intelligence.
Intelligence is the reasoning faculty within us. Do I have any-ah? Got-la, a little bit at least : –) Have I not been using logic in trying to figure out ‘who am I’. That at least indicates I’ve some intelligence within me. But the more pertinent question is – Am I the intelligence?
We have heard of people getting really angry and reacting violently; and how would they justify their actions? An insanity plea – it was a moment of sheer madness would be their convincing answer. What actually happens at that moment of madness? Intelligence must have forsaken them. They had lost their power of reasoning. Which brings me back to my question of “Am I the intelligence”. The answer is a resounding NO!
To answer the $60 million dollar question of “Who am I”
“I” must be something which:
- cannot be replaced (unlike my body parts)
- should exist at all times, even when I am sleeping (unlike my mind)
- would not do a disappearing act (unlike my intelligence)
Now, I know that I am not the body or the mind nor the intelligence. I know what I’m NOT, so what or who am I? I had embarked on a journey to find myself but I now stand before you not even existing!
Ummm.....maybe “I” am still waiting to be discovered.
My journey within continues…..walk with me.

My dad always said we are forms of energy. Do you think so? This energy can manifest in physical, mental, etc forms.Energy never dies, it is formless.It does not switch off even at nite...then we die! If that happens, it transfers to the next body. We are constantly eating (feeding), sleeping (recharge), in action (utilize) energy.But how can energy which doesn't have a mind of its own gain experience and feel emotions? so maybe we are another form of energy that is named jivan, unexplored...need to explore this form of energy and its characteristics...then i can be very powerful if i know my energy! My question is why is this energy here on earth? By the way, your kg is out for all to know!ok bye, dis is brindha eating eggs for energy (sustainig my jivan).
