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.

FIFTEEN

1
Lord, this I lay at Thy feet:
I am fallen and most vile, this the three worlds know.

2
There is no sinner so base as myself in the whole world;
In the universe there is no one whose offence equals mine.

3
Those sins and offences as Thou
Know'st I feel ashamed even to disown.

4
Whither shall I betake myself for shelter except to Thee?
Thou art the ruler of all the powers that be,
darling of the Lord of Braja.

5
This world is Thine, Thou permeate all things,
Thou wear?st out the offence that is committed toward Thyself.

6
Thou, indeed, art the refuge of those whose steps have gone astray.
What else is there besides Thyself?

7
Even so, all who offend against Thee
Will ever seek Thy refuge.

8
Bhaktivinode seeking the shelter of Thy feet
At Thy feet surrenders himself this day.

14. Perfection means being in tune with reality. The first thing we must understand is reality-the reality of my identity, i.e., my essence, position and function. Who am I? Just as a person does not identify himself as being the shirt that he is wearing, he also should not identify himself with the body that he is wearing.
