Ask yourself, “WHO AM I?”

Balancing of Male-Female Energies

Persons incarnate into male and female bodies according to the need for experience. The scriptures say that the souls alternatingly experience male and female bodies to round up their imbalances in male-female energy. A Yogi or a Master is one in whom the male-female energy is well balanced. Such ones are considered androgynous. Until that state of androgyny, there is experiencing the imbalance of male and female energy in oneself.

Every person is more or less male or female. God is male-female. Therefore all beings are male-female. In every being there is spirit and matter, which is called positive-negative energy, transmitting-receptive energy and expanding-contracting energy. When these energies are balanced in oneself, one gains optimum experience. In truth the being, the soul, is neither male nor female. Is it not therefore ignorance to think “I am male, I am female”? The truth is, I AM is in male form and I AM is in female form. Just like I am in a Benz car, I am in a Rolls Royce car. The vehicles are different but I AM is the same. The male-female bodies are like the residences, they are not the residents. The resident is the one I AM. Forms change, the resident is the same. Therefore one cannot associate oneself excessively with the definition of male-female.

Likewise, the names are but given names. They differ from life to life. The name does not come with you into the next life. The form does not come with you into the next life. Therefore associating oneself excessively with name and form is ignorance. Identifying with name and form is utter ignorance.

I AM is thus male-female and has the centripetal and centrifugal pulsation. Even in that pulsation the expanding pulsation is male and the contracting pulsation is female. I AM can therefore be seen as a pulsating awareness and as a projection of Existence. Defining with names and forms is but an act of ignorance. Identifying with them is illusion. Daily recollection of I AM is therefore helpful for disassociating with the name and form and for recollecting oneself as a projected entity of Existence - a unit of Awareness. This state of awareness is recommended to be gained. Remember, even this state is but a secondary state.

Ask yourself, “WHO AM I?”

Our name is not what we are, because it is given after we are born. The form is not what we are, because if we see the photographs right from childhood till now, they kept on changing and they will continue to change. We only settle with those photographs which are very good looking and we do not prefer other photographs being displayed! But we are not this form, because in every life we have a different form. We are not what we think of ourselves as our name, we are not what we think as our form, and we are not what we think as our activity. Activities keep changing. Our forms keep changing not only in terms of small and big, but also in terms of male and female from time to time, to gain varied experiences for fulfilment.

Our activities also keep changing as per the need of the soul to fulfil itself. Activities change from life to life and also from time to time within a life. We cannot identify I AM permanently either with a name or a form or an activity. We are just I AM, a unit of awareness. We are just a concept emerging from Existence. Even I AM is not considered real. The only reality is Existence. I AM is the secondary state to that Existence. I AM is an awareness of Existence. In pure Existence awareness is not. It is merged. Therefore, “WHO AM I?” when ideated, it leads you to the reality of one Existence. The rest that is built on that reality is an edifice. I AM itself is a projection of Existence, a sprout. Existence is even when awareness is not. Therefore the question leads you to one reality and reveals to you the relative illusion of the rest. The seven planes are built with Existence as their basis, though they have a relative reality.

In that context people get stuck with their name, form and activity. They are hopelessly localized that they get stuck in the narrowed down identity. To uproot oneself from such hopeless localization one is recommended to contemplate upon “WHO AM I?” When this contemplation does not happen man gets stuck with definitions, which are but circumscriptions. As many circumscriptions as one builds, so much he suffers.

Ask yourself, “WHO AM I?”

We are habituated to define ourselves and settle into an identity. Mostly our identity is a worldly identity. We do not remember that we are just a being among the billions and billions of beings - just a being with a given name, with a changing form, and with an activity in this world. I am so and so is not so true, I am male or female is not so true, I am a teacher [professional title] is not so true. I AM is not my name, before I was named so. I AM is not male or female till I developed that form. I AM is not teacher at all times.

I AM is I AM, which is the original identity. This I AM has neither name nor form but a pulsating awareness which has no independent existence. It emerges from Existence and merges into Existence and has an identity of itself as a unit of awareness. When it merges into Existence the question “WHO AM I?” also disappears. From that state of pure Existence there are relative and successive states up to the worldly state.

Ask yourself, “WHO AM I?”

The first instruction of the Lord Sanat Kumara is: Ask yourself, “WHO AM I?” Generally you are not what you usually think that you are.

Everyday as you wake up in the morning pose the question,
“WHO AM I?”

The Lord gives foremost importance to this, “WHO AM I?” This is a fundamental question by which we lose all our identities with all that which we think we are. We are just not what we think we are.

Violet Flame Invocation #11

The Flame of Twilight is the Flame of Violet.

The Flame Violet blesses, blesses gently
during the twilights.

The Flame Violet touches gently
during the twilights.

The Flame Violet enters gently
into the oriented ones.

We orient and wait ardently to perceive,
to receive and to assimilate the Flame Violet

and – to fulfil our part in the Plan!
May that be our daily plan.

Violet Flame Meditation #9

Oh Violet Flame of Rhythm,
oh Violet Flame of Dance and Song,
sing & dance rhythmically to release the
imprisoned life !

We, the prisoners of life find no way out.

We, the prisoners reach not Your heights,
tune not to Your rhythm.

We, the prisoners of matter,
nevertheless sing and dance,
though not rhythmically.

Descend, descend, descend !
Release, release, release !

Oh Violet Flame of Rhythm.
