अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि
Ahaṁ Brahmāsmi - I am absolute
It is a Yajurvedic Mayavakya from Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad which is of great significance. It denotes unification of individual soul with universal soul to become the absolute soul. It signifies the ultimate truth and it means I am Brahma, I am the source, where everything comes from. I am the source where everything returns to. I am no different from my creator. I am absolute. It is the direct and immediate experience, out of the world experience transcending the senses, a transcendental experience. It is a state of being in pure consciousness or super consciousness.
Usually this type of consciousness is attained through self enquiry. Realization of the self will lead you to this particular state of pure consciousness. Once you dissolve your self into the universal self you become the absolute self and there is no distinction anymore. You are one and the same as the Universal soul. The part after realizing gets merged with the whole. The river joining the sea and becoming the oceanic. Finite being becoming the infinite reality of existence. We are born as a part of existence on this earth but once you come to realization after attaining your senses over a period of time, you join the symphony of existence and become one with existence by losing your self in the whole. You were disconnected when you arrived on this earth and now you got connected back again. It is like falling back into the rhythm and becoming a part of the symphony called life.
True happiness that is blissfulness or Ananda can be obtained by losing oneself in something larger, becoming part of an evolving social organic world. We are part of the social organization called life which is always interdependent and never independent. We can be only social and can never be antisocial as it amounts to swimming upstream putting a lot of effort to go against the natural flow of a river. Following the course of the river is a social behavior aligned with nature or being natural.
It is only through self realization and social interactions between our own species and understanding the environment and all its inhabitants will give you an insight into the interdependent theme of nature and its creations. Coexistence is the mantra and is the balance. Any one of the elements or creations of nature not aligning with the all other will lead to imbalance and leads to becoming suicidal. You will only get the feeling of taking your own life with over use of mind, when you are misaligned and feel left out of the crowd due to narrow approach towards life. There is nothing on this earth that can be independent of itself as all the creations have a set inbuilt program which integrates with all other creations on this earth. Our sustenance very much depends on the other stake holders of this earth.
The whole evolutionary process is aligned with the integration of all evolutionary creations that exists on this earth. It is like we are all independent threads which are all woven into a fabric of this particular environment on this earth. You will remain as a part till you realize you are part of whole fabric and you are the fabric itself.
Spirituality helps each and every individual to realize his self. It is a path to know our true essence which makes us into a human being. It will make you realize your true nature and the set program assigned for it and let you be so naturally throughout your journey of life. Unless you know who you are you will have problem aligning with rest of existence which is outside of your self. You will merge and do not feel left out and emerge out as an Enlightened Being after realization. It is just a matter of time for individuals with right intentions to know their true self.
Life is mystery and fun
and you will start celebrating your existence
only after realization
