AstroMaestro (astromaestro)

The same person is king to his subjects, son to his parents, enemy to his enemies, husband to his wife, and father to his son. He plays many roles. Yet, if you ask him who he is, he would be wrong if he gave any of these relationships as his distinctive mark, for these marks pertain to physical relationship or activities. They denote physical kinships or professional relationships; they are names attached to temporary statuses. Nor can he reply that he is the head, the feet, the hands, etc., for they are but the limbs of the physical form. He is more real than all the limbs, and is infact beyond all names and forms which are falsities that hide the basic Brahman; he is known as ā€˜Iā€™. Reflect over that entity well and discover who that ā€˜Iā€™ really is. When it is so hard to analyse and understand your own entity, how can you pronounce judgement on other entities with any definiteness?
