What is the first thing I can say about myself? ‘I know that I am’. Allow yourself to be drawn into the experience that enables you to make this statement with certainty. Rest there; abide as that. This is our primary knowledge about ourself. All other knowledge happens downstream from here. The reason people overlook their being is not because it is unfamiliar or at a distance but because it is so familiar. We overlook it in favour of the content of experience. Even the knowledge ‘I am a human being’ is secondary to the knowledge of our being. To remain as being is the pinnacle of self-knowledge. It is the culmination of the path of knowledge. In the ultimate surrender to God, it is the culmination of the path of devotion. We come to the state of being nothing in order to enter into the same nature that God is.
