16. The ‘I am’ is your greatest foe andgreatest friend, foe when binding to theillusion as body, friend when taking outof the illusion as body.When the sense or feeling ‘I am’ appeared on youit duped you into believing that you are the body,and later on that you are so-and-so. It strengthenedthe illusion all the more as time went by and thusbegan all the turmoil and suffering, in this sense itis your foe. But now the Guru tells you to comeback to the ‘I am’, understand it, stay there, makefriends with it or rather make it your guide, God orGuru. Doing so the ‘I am’ shall help you break theillusion and it will itself lead you to the source.17. The beginning and the end ofknowledge is the ‘I am’, be attentive tothe ‘I am’, once you understand it, youare apart from it.Whatever the volume of knowledge maybe it has tobegin with the primary knowledge or concept ‘Iam’. The ‘I am’ is the one, and then with two,three, four and so forth the structural labyrinth ofknowledge builds. You have to go back, retrace thesteps in the maze and when you do so correctly youwill end up at the ‘I am’. Give all your attention to
this ‘I am’, by and by you shall come to understandit and all its implications as well. The clearer yourunderstanding of the ‘I am’ is, the more distinctlyapart from it you are.18. You must meditate on the ‘I am’without holding on to the body-mind, the‘I am’ is the first ignorance, persist on itand you will go beyond it.Bring all your attention to the ‘I am’, meditate onit; try to do it by keeping the body-mind totallyaside. In the beginning the body-mind will resistthis abidance in ‘I am’, but with practice they willautomatically not interfere. Remember, this ‘I am’has tricked you into believing the unreal so youmay call it the first ignorance. You have to be afterthis ‘I am’ constantly only then can you go beyondit; otherwise it will continue playing games withyou.19. Your Guru, your God, is the ‘I am’,with its coming came duality and allactivity, stay on the ‘I am’, you arebefore the ‘I am’ appeared.
