When 'I am' and 'God is' become in your mind indistinguishable, then something will happen and you will know without a trace of doubt that God is because you are, you are because God is. The two are one.

Man having forgotten his true nature of being the all perfect Ether of Consciousness, is deluded by Ignorance into identifying himself with a body, etc., and regarding himself as an insignificant individual of mean capacity. If to him it is told that he is the creator of the whole universe, he will flout the idea and refuse to be guided. So coming down to his level the scriptures posit an God as the creator of the universe. But it is not the truth. However the scriptures reveal the truth to the competent seeker. You are now mistaking the nursery tale for metaphysical truth.

Whe I do like this and cling to my self, i.e., the I-thought, other thoughts do come and go, but I say to myself 'Who am I?' and there is no answer

Quesiton continued: forthcoming. To be in this condition is the sadhana, Is it so ?

This is a mistake that people often make. What happens when you make a serious quest of the Self is that the I-thought as a thought disappears, something else from the depths takes hold of you and this is not the 'I' which commenced the quest.

Question: What is the something else ?

Answer: That is the real self, the import of I. It is not the ego. It is the supreme being itself.
