Who am I - 5

In last part, we saw that we have our original self, separate but connected - though this connection not very apparent ! There are probably different ways to realise this connection. But let us try to see whether this idea of having a original self looks correct.

Observation 1) We behave/react differently if faced with same situation. Also, we behave/react differently to different situations. Though this seems to be related to our upbringing (culture, religion, status of living, people we interact, sequence of events we encounter and many such factors), somewhere there is that basic of basic nature that we have - which we inherit during our birth. Probably we get that inherent nature from our original self !!

Observation 2) What is before birth and after death ? Probably we are fully realised original self during that time. Our original self decides "death" when it finds that it need *not* continue physical existence. And also it goes for physical existence when it need to.

Observation 3) Many times we feel that there is meaning to certain events. Many times we know what we are going to do or what we are going to face. Some of us feel blessed when in utmost happiness or feel amazingly content or amazingly calm even after tremendous pressure/stress/agony/sorrow. How does this happen .. probably this is time when either we connect to our original self or our original self connect to us.

Yes, our original self remain separate from us (minds) during our physical existence, staying out but acting whenever needed.
