The Reality of Self

By Soham Swami

Who am I? From where have I come, and where will I go? What is consciousness that continuously generates the awareness - "I exist". Is it a feature of my body? Will I perish with the death of my body? Or am I the mind? If I am the mind, how do I exist when my mind disappears in a swoon or deep sleep? What is my mind? How is it born, and how will it perish? Or am I the soul? What is the soul? Is there a single soul or a unique independent soul in each entity? How will I know who I am? What is my reality? - If these questions bother you, this book is just right for you. In the concluding chapter of Soham Samhita, the Advaitin monk Soham Swami answers all these questions and more. He guides the desperate seeker of the knowledge of the Reality of Self or Atmatattva on the transcendental path that leads to the ultimate truth.

"Now, therefore, the inquiry into Self" - with this statement, Soham Swami begins his great guide to discover the reality of consciousness. Not every person is capable of uncovering the truth of the conscious self.At first, the guru identifies the ideal candidate.Thereafter, he explains why such a person desperately seeks the truth.Subsequently, he guides the seeker of truth on the path of Yoga that permanently liberates a person from ignorance.
