get it out <strong>of</strong> my own being, I worship that very principle ‘I am’ and<br />

understand that ‘I am’ is a product <strong>of</strong> the ‘satwa guna’, food<br />

essence product. When you throw out all the concepts, including<br />

your primary concept (‘I am’), then whatever is, is. Stay put in<br />

go further into spirituality you will realize that ‘I am’ is the very<br />

God or soul <strong>of</strong> an infinite number <strong>of</strong> universes, but the ‘I am’ is<br />

dormant condition. Later on it started knowing itself. <strong>The</strong> ‘jnani’<br />

apparatus through which that knowingness expresses itself is now<br />

quite different, but the principle is the same.
