“Who am I”, the question seems quite rhetorical, but whenever I am confronted with the question I just couldn’t resist myself to take a plunge into my journey of life and reflect on my deeds, my thoughts and my behaviour. I somehow think one can’t find the answer without self-introspecting and critically examining your life per say.
The answer to the question can be as subjective and can vary in content like the width of an ocean but according to me ”I am what I want to be” more specifically what I would like my reflection to be when confronted to a person/situation. Everybody has an image of a person, some distant mirage of personality, far away, whose characteristics are not clear but we still are awed by his presence. Some give the name as your idol, some say your inspiration but in short it’s just what we want to be. The image of a perfect human being which can be called as humanity personified. The true form of this perfect human being can vary depending on one’s idea/concept/image of his perfect person. Irrespective of his/her true form we are all constantly working till we take our last breath to get closer to the kind of our “perfect human being” we have imagined off.
But I think the above concept is also not true in totality and doesn’t satisfy my inquisitiveness off soul and body and doesn’t give a proper answer to Who am I. The whole question of perfection is somehow looked upon from the perspective of perfection of the outer appearance giving more importance to what people perceive of you or what you think of yourself. The whole idea of soul has not been looked upon. If we are soul and body is just an outer cover then probably process of what I want to be should be looked upon form the point of view of soul and interior upliftment not the perfection of the body. The soul enrichment should be the ultimate aim. And probably the answer to Who am I would start from soul and where it will end, I still have no answer to it.
