Quote
To say both, 'I am doing' and 'I am Knowing' is known as gross ignorance of the Self. You ('Chandubhai') are actually the object to be known (gneya) yet you are considering others to be the object to be known! Become the Knower (Gnata) and then Know the object to be known ('Chandubhai').

As soon as the awareness 'I am Chandubhai' occurs, one will feel, 'all this worldly life is mine.' ' I am Chandhubhai,' should be dramatic, so that it would not hinder him from within.
