14.The
‘I am’ is the permanent link in
the
succession of events called life, be at
the
link ‘I am’ only and go beyond it.
Conception,
birth and infancy, these are the beginnings
of
your being where the ‘I am’ lies dormant.
Then
there is the spontaneous appearance of the non-verbal
feeling
‘I am’ around say three years of age.
On
this foundation of the knowledge ‘I am’ is built a
large
structure of words, ideas and concepts and very
soon
it is ‘I am so and so’ and so forth.
The
pure ‘I am’ is contaminated and it piles on right from
childhood
to old age, but in all the succession of events,
the
‘I am’ lies at the base and has always been there.
The
‘I am’ is an unbroken link throughout your life, so
come
back to it, abide there and try to transcend it,
for
there lies your True being.
