That Which Knows ‘I Am’ Is Being Itself

A man studying with the current Shankaracharya of the North enquires about the meaning of ‘samskaras’ in the context of knowledge. Rupert elucidates that the essence that knows ‘I am’, that recognises existence, is being itself. Being is self-aware, self-known and self-luminous. Unlike other forms of knowledge, which require a subject–object relationship, the awareness of being is direct. Thus, ‘I am’ is the highest possible knowledge, reality experiencing itself.
