The commentary is well explained. The simplified explanation has opened my spiritual understanding of this chapter this chapter.I love it. I am energized to continue to read the Word Of God Thank you Commentator.
Question: If the Self is itself aware, why am I not aware of it even now? Bhagwan Ramana Mahrishi s Answer: There is no duality. Your present knowledge is due to the ego and is only relative. Relative knowledge requires a subject and an object, whereas the awareness of the Self is absolute and requires no object. Remembrance also is similarly relative, requiring an object to be remembered and a subject to remember. When there is no duality, who is to remember whom? The Self is ever-present. Each one wants to know the Self. What kind of help does one require to know oneself? People want to see the Self as something new. But it is eternal and remains the same all along. They desire to see it as a blazing light etc. How can it be so? It is not light, not darkness. It is only as it is. It cannot be defined. The best definition is I am that I am . The srutis scriptures speak of the Self as being the size of one s thumb, the tip of the hair, an electric spark, vast, subtler than the subtlest, etc. They have no foundation in fact. It is only being, but different from the real and the unreal it is knowledge, but different from knowledge and ignorance. How can it be defined at all? It is simply being. PS This is mentioned In the Bible by the Lord! American King James Version - Exodus Chapter 3 Verse 14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
God the Father, The Holy Spirit and The Son are in one. But there is no other above name is Jesus. God the Father declare his will because of Jesus perfect obedience from the Father. There is only Jesus our mediator between the man and to the Holy Father. We have to believe that Jesus is the only way the truth and the life no man comes to the father except thru Jesus. For God so love the world and he gave his only begotten son to save us and to give us abundant life. John 3 chapter
Just want to share something unique with you. Do you think it is a coincident that the among the four Great Truths or the Maha Vaakyas of the Vedas, we have in the statements THAT TAT and I AM AHAM 1 TAT TWAM ASI Sanskrit THAT Thou Art English 2 AHAM BRAHMASMI Sanskrit I AM BRAHMAN English 3 AYAM ATMA BRAHM Sanskrit This Atma is Brahman English 4 PRAGYAANAM BRAHM Sanskrit - The highest Wisdom is Brahman English THAT or TAT is a word or name of the Lord which represents the totality of all the universes. This includes all the universes physical and subtle spiritual, all the energies contained in these universes as well as time. THAT is actually the seed from which everything has emanated. It is a realty which the human mind, it is said cannot comprehend nor fathom. Please note the close almost identical Sanskrit and English sounds! The verse occurs identical as it is below. Amazing!!!! I have included that part of the Bible so you can view it for yourself. American King James Version - Exodus 3 - Verse 14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

Part 2 of 2 In the end, none of those names in the Old Testament have the power to save, heal, or rebuke the adversary. The only name that he is recognizing is his name he had the angel declare and that is Jesus Christ. Acts 4 12 Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved .

Part 1 of 2 Hello John Emefieh His name is no longer I AM. The angel declared his name before his was born, Matthew 1 21. After Jesus Christ became an adult he declared his name, John 5 43. He clarified that he was God manifested in the flesh to the Jews, John 8 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. This is why they got so angry with him because he declared that he was the I AM. Those knowing the Old Testament scriptures knew he was claiming to be God of the Old Testament. They took up stones to cast at him, John 8 59 Then took they up stones to cast at him but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
I am that I am is the ultimate description of the nature and relevance of God. The creator of all things who was not created by anybody and does not need anybody to exist or survive. Omnipotent, Alpha and omega, the terrible and mighty one, yet God is love, compassionate and merciful. I Am is his name. Thank you Lord.

Hello Manko Raputsoane The I AM of the Old Testament is now the Jesus Christ of the New Testament. God declared his real name to us. Jesus Christ said I come in my father 's name John 5 43. Then Jesus Christ stated I and my father are one John 10 30. It is a mystery but Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3 16. God had many names in the Old Testament, however none of those names will save you. You must be saved under the name of Jesus Christ, Acts 4 12 Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. If you read verses 10 and 11 you will know that verse 12 is talking about Jesus Christ.
when God said to Moses, tell them that I Am send you, He was simply saying when you are afraid, I Am, when you don 't have food on your table, I Am. He was saying to Moses, tell them that I Am what they want me to be in their lives!! Thank you Jesus
Wonderful passage of the scripture that gives us an insight into the powerful and undescribable name of our Great CREATOR and GOD, the most MIGHTY GOD.

Hello Lynn God had many names in the Old Testament. His name first was LORD. This is what they called him in the beginning in Genesis 2 4 this is how God had Moses to write it. Then in Exodus, when God sent Moses to the people, he told Moses to tell them that I AM had sent him. This was God s name here during this time. Exodus 3 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you . See God did not reveal his true name until he stepped on the scene manifested in the flesh of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh.
HE is the all knowing, self sufficient, omnipresent, almighty, and powerful GOD, WHO was, is, and is still to come! ALPHPA and OMEGA THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, THE JUDGE, and THE AMEN!
Let me jump in. I am that I am it means that he is self existent no man shall change his word he is the God of the city and in his word we are secure he is the living God he is Abba father
That 's why God should be the only worshipper in every one 's mind. But that 's not the way it is people have too much upon their heart. God is a very jealous God. Thats the reason why whoever takes his name in vain has to pay a price for it.we must be careful!!!.
I AM THAT I AM is HIS NAME forever and ever.Every time you say that word I AM your calling on HIS NAME, everybody 's looking for a Saviour to come from Without!But that 's not how He 's coming,He comes from Within.Instead of calling on HIS NAME,call With HIS NAME and HIS NAME is I AM...I AM Healed I AM free from bondage I AM GO o D etc
Sometimes we need to like moses have a back side of a desert experience .To be alone
with just God and oneself,not anybody else or thing in sight that can take your focus off God.
Not for God but for us he does this so that we can finally get to the place where he can speak and we can hear him clearly. It may take some thing happening in our life that does not feel good at all but, it is totally worth the experience knowing that its you and God and he can do there what he cant do anywhere else.
