The primary concept ‘I am’
is dishonest, a cheat. It
has tricked you into
believing
what is not. Focus sharply
on the ‘I am’ and it’ll
disappear.
The
teaching says that first
you must start an
inquiry into the nature
of this knowledge ‘I
am’,
how
it appeared on you and
what it lead to.
In
the process of this
inquiry you land up with
the conclusion that this
‘I am’ is false and has
deceived
you into believing
something that’s not
true.
You
may theoretically agree
with this conclusion but
in order to actually
understand it
you
have to keep a sharp
focus for a prolonged
period on the ‘I am’.
You
have to do this
repeatedly; in fact this
is the ‘Sadhana’
(practice).
