WHO AM I ?
(1) WHO AM I ?
THE PRECISE METHOD FOR LIBERATION
Dadashri : What is your name?
Questioner : My name is ‘Chandulal’.
Dadashri : Are you really ‘Chandulal’?
Questioner : Yes.
Dadashri : ‘Chandulal’ is your name. Is ‘Chandulal’ not
your name? Are you yourself ‘Chandulal’ or is your name
‘Chandulal’?
Questioner : It is my name.
Dadashri : Then who are you? If ‘Chandulal’ is your
name, then who are you? Are you and your name not separate?
If you are separate from your name, then who are you? Do you
understand what I am trying to say? If you say, “These are my
eye-glasses,” then you and the glasses are separate, right?
Similarly, do you not feel that you are separate from your name?
In the same token there is nothing wrong with naming a
shop ‘General Traders’. However if we call out to the shop
owner “Hey General Traders, come here!” he would reply, “My
name is Jayantilal, General Traders is the name of my shop.”
