Do You Know Who You Are?

If someone asked you to describe yourself, what would you say? Would you include in your answer your name, country of origin, your likes and dislikes, your career choice, and your family? We know that we have a body with which we can breathe, touch, feel, see, hear, and move, but is there more to what we call ourselves than just our name and our personality?

The question of how consciousness and self-awareness connect with personal identity has plagued philosophy since antiquity. Many sages of diverse orientations have put forth various elaborate answers, but who is right? What are we really? Are we the body only? Are we our emotions? Are we our thoughts? What can we say we are when our imagination taints our reality?

What do you do when you burn with the question “Who am I?” Sadhguru answers.
