The
Nisargadatta Gita
Pradeep
Apte
79.
First came the ‘aham’ as ‘I am’, then ‘aham-akar’ (identification with
body,
ego),
now go back to ‘aham’, dwelling there realize ‘aham-brahmasmi’
The
feeling ‘I am’ or ‘Aham’ was the first to appear and then it
identified with the body and
became
‘I am so-and-so’ or ‘Ahamkar’ (Aham= I am+Akar=this shape or form or
body=
Ahamkar
meaning the Ego).
Now
leave aside the shape or body or ‘Akar’, revert to and stabilize in
the ‘Aham’ or ‘I am’.
Dwelling
there realize that ‘I am Brahman’ or ‘Ahambrahmasmi’.
