WHO ARE YOU ?

Who are you? This must be the toughest question ever asked to any human. In order to answer this question we must know ourselves. Most of us boast about our self, personality, character, intelligence, family, status and such many things. But, do any of these are achieved by us? The answer is a stern 'no'.

To confirm this 'no' some more 'no's are to be added to this. It is now your turn to say no. Is it your choice that you are a man or woman? Is it your choice the shape, height and colour of your body?  Is it your choice the shape and task of your limbs? Your memory or your intelligence is chosen by you? How about your parents, are they your choice? Your brothers and sisters, the family in which you are born, the place or time of your birth are not chosen by you. Then what is that can be called as yours in your body or person? In fact nothing. You may like to say that your spouse is your choice. Not at all. That too is linked with other things we said. 

Now you may think about yourself; your personality, character and family status. You have no hand behind any of these. Now ask the question, who am I, to yourself. Try to find an answer.  Let us first look at this vast universe. The universe have an estimated diameter, say the distance between the borders, is over 93 billion light years. This unimaginable universe consist of three prime components; time, space and matter. We, the human are the inconceivably minute component of the matter having no shape, size, character at this point of time‌. But, here at this space we talk so loudly about ourselves.

Here come the Supreme One who made all these under a set of laws. Everything functions in the whole universe are under these laws. All these are pre-set. That is what we say that life is predetermined and for that matter every life form around is predetermined in all respects. Therefore, every action of ours are predetermined. Believe it, when you spit, where you spit and how much you spit is not your choice; that too is predetermined or fall within these pre-set laws.

We should not misunderstand the word, predetermined, as someone is sitting there and predirected all. It may not be so, but all in the universe are placed within a framework of law, so that it may look like as acting independently. None can act by itself, but act by the influence of external forces.

If you can see that all these forces are originated from one point, and that point is the combined formless entity containing immeasurable quantity of energy spread beyond time, space and matter, but all these are within you, may be able to answer who you are.
