Aham Purusha...

Q: 'You are not the body,' is often spoken here. There are some who believe in the preciousness of the body so that there can be the experience of life as sacred. They feel a liberation by feeling completely present in the body.


R: "The sacredness of life is the purusha within you, experience That!

It is not the body, which can be made male or female.

You are the Purusha within the Heart of everyone whether they appear to be male or female.

It is mentioned in the Upanishads and other holy sutras that this Purusha is equal to the length of a thumb. It is within your own Heart, forever burning as a flame.

It is your own Self, your own Atman.

When you concentrate on that you will see that you are this Purusha and not the gender male or female. Though everybody is Purusha they don't identify with That, but identify with their body for their own interest.

No one is told about this eternal Purusha which doesn't come and go. It is that Purusha which speaks.

If you become That and merge with this Purusha then it speaks from where the speech arise from and not what the tongue can speak. The tongue can speak, but where does the strength come from which enables to speak?

That comes from the fountain which is called the Purusha, Aham Purusha. It is That Purusha which I refer to."
