Who am I
| Success in life begins with knowing, "Who am I? What is the purpose of my life?" Knowledge of the self exists; but sincere seekers are rare. More rare are the great teachers of such wisdom. Since time immemorial, wise men have described our wonderful nature: spiritual, primeval, ever-existing, undying, unchangeable, imperishable. This selection of the writings of Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa (Chris Butler) shares that timeless wisdom — inspiring, challenging , practical. |

If you are wise, you can see the person or atma within the body, and relate to the person, not to his body. Jagad Guru Chris Butler - Science of Identity Foundation You should not judge a person by his race, weight, height, sex, genes, and so forth. Jagad Guru Chris Butler - Science of Identity Foundation Another quote of Jagad Guru Chris Butler: If you erroneously identify yourself with your body, you will conclude that your existence will end with the destruction of your body. But if you know that you are the eternal self within the body, you know that your existence will not end when your body dies. Jagad Guru Chris Butler - Science of Identity Foundation A person who understands that (1) one day the body will cease existing, and that (2) he himself will not cease existing, naturally becomes less interested in material gain and material pursuits (which he knows will be taken away one day) and becomes more interested in making spiritual advancement—advancement in wisdom, love, and compassion.
