In this episode, Chandresh shares how personality compromises of the ideas, narratives, labels, and stories we receive from society, family, religion, school, and so on. This notion of personality becomes so strong within us that we are not able to go beyond that personality. Ultimately, we start living as an idea of someone which is not ours. We tend to neglect our own blooming because we get so stuck in this idea of personality. In this episode, Chandresh shares how awareness does not have personality, but that is our reality. The point is to go beyond becoming and start being. Chandresh shares a few points like having the willingness to go beyond the personality, and to disobey consciously in order to transcend the personality. It is also important to plant the intention to live with courage and clarity. In addition, he shares two mantras for those wanting to integrate this in their meditation which are soham namana and aham brahmasmi.
