I’ and ‘My’ are two separate elements but due to ignorance, one believes that there is one element only. ‘I’ is your true Self, it is permanent, and ‘My’ is relative that is temporary.

00:00In reality, who am I, that's a very important thing to understand, to realize.
00:15You know everything, worldly things, you know everything about so many things going on around
00:24the world, everything you know.
00:28You try to know more and more, but you never try to know in reality, who am I.
00:39See, we don't know about our own self, what is my true self, that is very important to
00:49know.
00:52Thomas is your relative self, your name given to identify this body.
01:00It's a sign, so many signs are given to identify the shops.
01:07Same way, this is a sign given to identify this body.
01:13You are not the name, you are owner of the name.
01:15When you were born, name was not written anywhere on your body.
01:25It was given later on.
01:28And today also, if you want to change your name, you can change it.
01:33Just go to court and do affidavit, you can get your name changed.
01:39Name can be changed, but you cannot be changed, you are there.
01:46Everything external other than your true self is always changing, changing, changing.
01:53Body, you say my body, right?
01:56You can't say that I am body.
02:00So I and my, these are two separate elements.
02:06I is your true self, and my is your relative self.
02:11They are totally separate elements, but because of ignorance, you think that there is one
02:20element, Thomas, that I am Thomas, body, that also I am body, that is your belief, and yourself,
02:31that is also I am myself.
02:33So there is confusion between I and my.
02:40We are not clear about what is in my and what is in I.
02:46So wherever you say my, my, my, that is all other than your true self.
02:53You say my body, my mind, my speech, my ego, my intellect, my house, my money, everything
03:03goes into my.
03:06Each thing comes into I.
03:09I is your true self, it's permanent, and my is all relative, which is temporary, it's
03:19always changing.
03:21Your true self never changes.
03:25Body dies, but your I, your self, that is called soul, never dies.
03:32You in reality, you are soul, atma, and in relativity, you are Thomas, name given to identify
03:44this whole unit, mind, speech, body, ego, intellect, everything, which belongs to this
03:52thing, that is called Thomas.
03:59So now you should realize, who am I?
04:03Once you realize that, then anything goes out in outer world, or with Thomas, your true
04:12self won't get any effect, no effect, only happiness or unhappiness will remain with
04:20Thomas, not with your true self, not with your atma, soul.
04:29So right now you think the two things are only one, only one thing is there.
04:35So anything goes wrong or right with Thomas, you think that it is with me only.
04:42So you suffer everything, but when you find this demarcation between your I and my, your
04:50true self and your relative self, then no suffering in your I.
04:59So you can be free from all sufferings, and happiness all the time.
