30. You must not only have the conviction that
‘I am’
but also that you are free from the ‘I am’.
Clearly you can envisage two steps in the
process of self-discovery,
the
first one being the understanding of the
knowledge ‘I am’ and abiding in it.
You must develop the strong conviction that
‘you are’ and stay there.
What will happen then?
By and by as you abide in the ‘I am’ the
second step will be to realize
that you stand apart from the ‘I am’, you are
free from it!
You
are not the ‘I am’ but its witness.
Thus abidance in the ‘I am’ and its
transcendence is the key to the whole
‘Sadhana’
(practice).
