55.
This knowledge ‘I am’ has come
out of the state prior to it
and
now is the cause of all
suffering, before the ‘I am’
came
you
were happy, so go back.
If
you are sensitive and
observant enough you can very
clearly discern that
this
knowledge ‘I am’ has arisen on
the state prior to it.
This
sense of ‘being’, knowing that
‘you are’ or ‘I am’ has just
spontaneously
appeared
and has become the cause of
all suffering.
You
have experienced those states
like the period from
conception to the
appearance
of ‘I am’, or in deep sleep
where the ‘I am’ lies dormant
or
is held in abeyance.
During
any of these states was there
any suffering or worry?
The
Guru has made all this clear
to you and now tells you to go
back
and
abide in the ‘I am’ and
transcend it forever and be
happy.
