Episode notes
Defining the Self
- Defining "I" is challenging because it's not about possessions or accomplishments.
- The true "I" is constant, regardless of external factors.
Universal Self
- Our "I" is not something acquired but something inherent that always remains.
- It's not different from anyone else's "I", but rather a universal presence.
The Drawer Space Analogy
- Like the space within drawers, our true self is not something we acquire.
- We merely create conditions to experience it, but it exists independently.
