Hi friends, I am forwarding a topic that "Who we are?" This is an interesting story...hope you'll like it.
A woman in a coma was dying. She suddenly had a feeling that she was taken up to heaven and stood before the seat of judgment.
"Who are you?" a voice said to her.
"I'm the wife of the mayor," she replied.
"I didn't ask you whose wife you are but who you are."
"I'm the mother of four children."
"I didn't ask whose mother you are, but who you are."
"I'm a school teacher."
"I didn't ask you what your profession is but who you are."
And so it went. No matter what she replied, she didn't seem to give a satisfactory answer to the question, "Who are you."
"I'm a Christian."
"I didn't ask what your religion is but who you are."
"I'm the one who went to church every day and always helped the poor and needy."
"I did not ask you what you did but who you are."
She evidently failed the examination for she was sent back to earth. When she recovered from her illness, she determined to find out who she was. And that made all the difference.
"Our duty is to be. Not to be somebody, not to be nobody - for therein lies greed and ambition - not to be this or that - but just to be."

I think we are all only consciousness with a bundle of thoughts which creates an apparent image of a person who is actually nothing. We are only awareness in and by different things that appear.

Don't waste your time by thinking who you are, and where you came from, and for what you are here. If you go on thinking like this, you will be confused, as Sikha said, "nobody understood anything." Only think YOU ARE HERE... ONE DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO GO FROM HERE... Where and all is beyond our thinking... which is controlled by ultimate power. Leave that work to him and enjoy the present that he has given you here.

Hi Mini,
OK, let me explain with an example.
As I mentioned earlier, we are all conscious beings with a bundle of thoughts. This is because if something good happens to us at a certain moment, that positive experience creates a certain identity in our minds. We tend to associate certain actions with positive outcomes. On the other hand, if something negative happens, we tend to avoid repeating that action in the future.
Therefore, these specific situations and experiences shape our identities and influence how we behave in front of others. However, it's important to note that experiences vary from person to person; what may bring success to one individual may not necessarily work for another.
Now, if we eliminate life situations and experiences from a person, what remains?
1. Our mind
2. Our body
3. Our consciousness
Our body is subject to change and can deteriorate due to illness or other factors. Ultimately, what endures is our consciousness.
And consciousness is...
I hope you understand the concept clearly. :)
Take care.

According to Rig Veda, human beings are described as "tri-ani pada," meaning having three bodies in one: divine (causal body where the soul resides near the heart), spiritual (subtle body energized by the spirit residing in "shuniya" - cosmic void), and gross body where senses and sense organs reside. The soul makes a person a divine animal, the spirit makes a person a social animal, and the senses and sense organs make a person a material and economic man.
According to Theravada Buddhism, everything is nothing but an illusion, a temporary combination of five aggregates, none of which is ultimately real.

I think who you are means your inbuilt character and nature. You need to know yourself. That means knowing your potentials, limitations, weaknesses, strengths, etc. After doing that, now decide what you can do and what you can't. Remember, we are all unique. Just as our physical appearances differ, so do our inbuilt qualities and nature. You are who you are; you can't be somebody else. So, do not try to be someone else as it will lead to failures.
However, in this world, we don't always have the choice to act according to our nature. Neither are we raised nor educated based on our nature. That's why our full potential may never come out. A natural doctor might become an engineer, or a natural artist may end up working as a mechanic, and so on. Despite all that, it is better to know yourself and focus on areas where you can excel, avoiding situations where you are not designed to be.

Who am I - I am a human being first. There is a clear distinction between Being & Doing kind of things. All other non-human species like animals, birds, beasts, and so forth are Doing kind of things because they don't have the gift of intellect to distinguish between good and bad, creative and destructive courses of action, evolution and disaster, divine and devil. The gift of intellect is given to the human being only, who can make this planet a heaven if he engages his intellect in a creative and positive direction. Otherwise, if he acts as Doing kind of animals without thinking about the consequences of his actions, he is not capable of being termed as a human being.
Nowadays, with dwindling moral and ethical values, more human beings are converting into animals (Doing) more so our political leaders who have made the country a hell. May God help such people to be human beings.

Hi,
Don't waste time thinking about or trying to find the answer to "WHO ARE WE?". We have been sent here by the Divine for a specific purpose. Let us work towards fulfilling that purpose. Only after we have served our purpose will we come to understand "who and why we are here." This understanding will be revealed by others when they say "Who are we." For example, Mahatma Gandhi - "Who is he?"

Dear Madhumita,
This one is a good question. Everyone should ask this question to ourselves in our life to take our first step towards 'SELF-REALIZATION'. The great saint "RAMANA MAHARISHI" asked the same question and wrote a book with this title.
Who are we? We are SOUL. There is no birth or death for the soul, no end for the soul, no gender for the soul.
How to realize? Pure LOVE is the only and simplest way to 'SELF-REALIZATION' and "GOD-REALIZATION". Do meditation to gain soul awareness; through that, you will achieve self-realization.
So, keep smiling and love all. May the blessings of GOD be with you.

Dear Madhumita,
Really a very good piece of information and a good question. In fact, if I may submit, there will be a lot of real happiness and peace in the world if people become aware of the answer to the question "who are you?". The moment they become aware of this fact, their behavior and attitude towards life and other people drastically change. Sri Sri Ravishankar's AOL program teaches this. At least when I attended the program about 6 years ago, this question was asked, and no one was able to give a perfect answer.
Unfortunately, we are all living in a falsely imagined world. The answer to this question can dispel this illusion from our minds. Trainers have to think in this direction to achieve better results.

Thank you very much, Madhumita, for that very interesting piece. The question "who am I" doesn't have easy answers. One person who thought about it threw away his royal robes and went searching for the answer, ultimately becoming enlightened, and people called him Gautam Buddha! Maybe we need to really cast off the robes of many notions we have about ourselves before we discover who we truly are. It is a long and tedious journey; there is a chance we may return with the expression "it is not worth it!" (As already voiced above). However, many who have embarked on that quest have found real joy and happiness after discovering themselves. Anyway, it's worth a real try, I would say. - KK Nair

Dear Jogeshawr,
Please understand that a teacher or guru can only guide you, and the efforts must really come from the students/participants. A cricket coach can only tell a batsman where he is wrong and show how to play a particular shot. That is guidance. But, the players, like the soldiers in the battlefield, must intensely put their heart and soul into practice, make sincere efforts, and get the results. All training is also like that. Management people want immediate results! The organizations must create a suitable and conducive atmosphere after training to see that the participants produce results. They have this responsibility.
Likewise, in AOL, what is given is the guidance, and the technique is demonstrated. But the participants must practice (what is given) at home and wait for the results to come in. But, alas... in this fast-moving world, one expects fast results. Who has the patience to practice sincerely? Showing mere statistics and asking me what the results are is not going to help. To get results, students' personal qualities also count. The mind is to be attuned, disciplined, and detached; things should be practiced regularly; at the heart, there should be deep, abiding interest in what one does; one should have infinite patience in the mind and heart. Some may get results fast, some others slow. Adi Shankara, whom you are quoting, was a real dynamo. He was a scientist, artist, logician, psychologist, thinker all rolled into one. By mere intellect, things cannot be understood. One has to go beyond the intellect, and to dwell on this is beyond the scope of this site/discussion/arena. Hope I have made myself clear to you, Mr. Jogweshwar. You must have by now known the things in a clear way.
In fact, refer to Vishnu Sahasranama, wherein the last stanza is explained beautifully. Kaya, Vacha, Manasa, Indriya, Buddhi, Prakruti, Swabhava, one must practice. Foreigners limit to only Kaya (Physical), Vacha (Words spoken), Manasa (Mind). That is their depth. But the Indian mind goes beyond that and says even your nature, senses, intellect, innate nature, all should be involved to get results. Do the trainers, including me, tell all these to participants? No. Because time is short, fear they may understand or not, fear that I may be dubbed as old, etc. But what is important is the essence of success so beautifully told in old scriptures. Kalidasa has said that an intelligent man will keep his mind antenna wide open and absorb even if it is old or new. We should be like a sponge absorbing old and new to get our understanding of the world.

Good one. Philosophically, our life is a microcosm, and the Universe is a macrocosm. Our soul has come to this Planet Earth with a clear purpose, a unique mission, and has assumed the form, be it called x, y, z, etc., for the time being. This soul is governed by the causes made in the past. If you want to understand what causes existed in the past, then look at the effects manifested in your life presently. If you want to understand what effects will be manifested in the future, then look at the causes being created presently. Our life is a temporary integration of many components, and death results when the disintegration of those factors takes place.
The explanation may go on. But rather than worrying about who I am now or in the future, let's create value in the present moment so that when we leave, we leave without any regrets.

Here the story tells the following.
If the question is who are you? then the answer given by woman is correct and all related to her.
But the question is who you are ?. It means the answer will be soul related which cannot be identified in a normal living. The answer can be her character and habit in personal.
Every situation we act differently in order to meet our victory / necessity. But we don’t think the real.
Let us find out the real character and habit in personal, not with the situation occurs.

Thank you for the beautiful Conscious Awakening story.

Mr. Jogeshwar,
It was not my message to you. You have thoroughly misunderstood me. In AOL, they discuss "who R U"? Ramana Maharshi was always asking those who approached him this question. That doesn't mean I support them. But I approve (give consent) of this because it makes you aware of what you are.
My message was that, as told in Vishnu Sahasranama, one should practice - that is kaya, vacha, manasa, indriya, buddhi, prakruti, and swabhava. One should go and search for the answer. If one practices anything in this way, he may attain it easily, quickly, and definitely. That is, one may get an answer to the question. But that is not easy, as the mind has to be controlled. This is called Sadhana. THIS IS THE METHOD.
But who does this in this fast world? One in a million may be. If one practices this way, he will get the answer to your question. Hope I have made myself clear.
