To What Do the Words 'I Am' Refer?

In exploring non-duality, we delve into the essence of existence. Each person's answer to 'Who am I?' is unique. With whatever label we identify ourself, every description starts with 'I am'. But to what do the words ‘I am’ refer? This pure 'I am' is our very core, untouched by externals. Even in darkest times, it shines through, clouded only by our experiences. Sorrow arises when our essence becomes entwined with emotions, thoughts. Recognising this unaltered self leads to inner peace and harmony in relationships. By resting in true being, we find a natural stillness that reflects inner peace. Nature, pets, and everyday objects hint at this profound truth. Everything resonates with the presence of being, often hidden by names and forms. Ultimately, all existence shares a universal song – the radiance of being – felt internally as 'I am' and seen in the world. Understanding this unlocks inner tranquillity and a world without discord.
