Once you see awareness as your true identity, mind can no longer make you suffer

- Begin to question the identity on behalf of whom there is suffering. Expose the self image on behalf of whom the mind desires and fears, judges and condemns; on behalf of whom the body acts. This is the path to awaken to your true identity.

Luck kills credit, having no credit eliminates self-image, no self-image brings about manonasa. This is why you have to get over assuming responsibility for everything. It's really just a bad way of motivating yourself. There are better ways.
what better easiest ways?@@TheDeepening718
Thank you, your teachings have reignited hope for me at a time where I have been feeling lost and disconnected
I read in a beauty parlor the slogan: I may not be perfect but.. I am . It resonated with this teaching. Thanks 🙏
Becoming aware of being aware has hit me a few times in my life in sudden moments. One time I simply looked out of my window at the trees blowing in the wind and just knew that I was aware of being aware and the second was having the experience of Christ’s grace/sacrificial love. Both felt similar in gratitude, love, and oneness with truth. It’s hard using words bc they are insufficient but necessary at the same time to describe. It’s very difficult to stay in that state of awareness but I’m thankful that it’s real and must be related intimately with Christ’s teaching that the kingdom of heaven is within you now. Love and peace to all of you images of God❤
I can ‘say’ all I like that I’m grateful for someone or something, but I genuinely don’t know or understand HOW to ‘feel’ gratefulness. 🙁
I think I’m emotionally dead, or my mind and body are scared to FEEL anything because when I’ve felt things in the past, I’ve been emotionally crushed, by situations and people.
@@JohnM...I think it becomes easier when you observe the surrounding thoughts around the thought of being grateful. When you’re happy you have thoughts around that happiness that make it easier to feel the happiness. Such as being happy about your life. The surrounding thoughts around that describe your happiness and help youb”feel” happy. The same can be done with the gratefulness.
That are exactly the moments and the emotions 💞✨
I am not religious, but this is why I love Advaita Vedanta, because it both transcends all beliefs and shines through them. Anyone from any background or belief can experience awareness, and that is amazing
Stay in the present & in mindfulness at the same time and you will fully awaken where you will literally feel one with the trees, the breeze, the sky and the birds
In this video, you gradually spread more and more light on the
subject until it finally emerges in complete and utter clarity and
simplicity.
Thanks so much, Sunny.
Sunny this is Pure Gold!!✨ The "I" we take to be personal the "Me", is just Another Thought!!!!
Who is taking himself seriously after that 😅 ? Just kidding
We are the Watchers of Life, the Awareness & Life Itself!! 🙏 Namaste
When I had an accident I was detached from Ego ...and then a few times after that it happened again . I've read a lot from Freud to Nlp and budism but couldn't really understand fully the concept of Ego fully . Until I watched the Guy Ritchie movie REVOLVER. It literally blew my mind
Just found you and I’m so glad I did. You stick to one subject and explain so clearly. I love how you explain it in so many different ways so it gets completely understood so it can be immediately applied. Thank you❤!
Welcome to the channel :)
I have concluded that the idea of "God" being "I Am," is no so much a name as a concious shifting process. When "you" ask yourself that question "who am I," there is silence and connection. That is because the ego and all the false selves have no answer. They aren't real.
Kill ego??? I d be dead. However, this was rewarding to hear this.
This is just brilliant, Sunny. All that I've absorbed from your teachings over the last 2 years, is beautifully and clearly explained in this video. Will keep revisiting it. Thank you and be blessed.
Wonderful video, Sunny.
While watching it, I actually REALIZED the truth of what you are
saying: that we are not ANY of our thoughts. As a result of hearing
this, my mind effortlessly became empty of thought.
This video reassured me that in Christianity there's everything.
I was just having issues with intrusive thoughts and this has helped so much, Thank you!!
I am personally wanting to get to where you are describing.. I started using mindful awareness techniques to work with deep childhood and adult trauma.. A person who, as a child, feels threatened, unsafe, fearfilled (emotionally, physically, sexually, etc) will naturally feel like "me/the world", very subject/object dominated because children are not capable of absorbing the suffering foisted upon them. It's very hard to unwind from this, but I do believe it can be unwound from... The mindful awareness techniques I use help me unwind from all those fears, need for safety, acceptance, etc that were never provided to a child... a child who becomes an adult who still cannot process a world that is safe. Yet, those same mindful awarness techniques are opening this 'awareness of awareness', and letting go of the I/the world paradigm required for survival. I move toward self inquiry, and am more and more able to ease away from I AM NESS..
Brilliantly explained, full circle! Thank you for helping this realization to occur! 🙏
This brought a whole new understanding of what “acceptance” really meant!
Ive been thinking the same thing lately as being aware has truly changed my life in a year. Hearing you lay it out like this really connects some dots. Identity is an illusion. We use it to rationalize our inner childs attempts to bring comfort in an uncertain chaotic world. The comfort manifests into automatic behaviors that can be difficult to break free from. I find I need to constantly question the origin of my random impulses. It helps alot.
Your frame of attitude will always sculpt your experience, stay grateful 💚
there's no ego. it's just you
The very 'I' that we refer to as being me is just a thought but we never realised it. It is just a conceptualised idea which when we examine deeper it cannot be found. This is the basic principle of Buddhist teaching called anatta or no-self.

First time I viewed your channel. I have been struggling with this concept of I am and what has helped me finally to understand how to stop identifying with the concepts in my mind is when you gave the example of someone who doesn’t stop talking. You stop listening to them and so now when my mind talks I realize it’s chatter and just stop listening. Thank you so much ! Seems so simple but we have been programmed from birth to believe we are who we think we are and the deprogamming comes slowly for some of us , but I finally feel I am breaking free. I will add for anyone who is struggling, to try fasting from your “go to” whe you are uncomfortable. For me, it’s coffee…it was cigarettes but I quit that through juice fasting for 2 weeks. Now it’s coffee.. could be food , projects, drugs..whatever numbs you from being uncomfortable. Fasting gets you out of your habits. Thank you again for making this more clear. I am assuming that with practice you suddenly see your oneness and separation is gone? No there yet but at least I finally get how to get there!

Oneness in Worship and Oneness in Self. This is the ultimate objective.

The self is consiosness. Desire for outcomes lead to the disappointed emotions etc.
I believe that awareness is the space or the womb of all that is that is all loving and allows all experiences reconciling all to its self.
I just want to share some idea/a thought . It's much more easier to awake in a beautiful and harmonius dream than in the nightmare . What i am trying to say is that if we feel loving and happy and being kind/compassionate towards others its much more easier to awake or question thoughts , or work with this idea that is being presented in the video . Calm body/mind can see much better and question much better . And even Ramana Maharshi, Jesus and Buddha had personal self but those personal selves were for that time much loving and calm versions than any other personal self on the planet , and maybe that is not even true. Again what i am trying to point that love helps immensly and cuts all questions and answers and in the end we all seek love . And what this questioning in the end gives is love . So ❤
Beautifully said❤
Thank you Sunny, greatly appreciated.
Omg have not heard from you for ages. ❤
Hi Karuna! I hope the video resonated. Also join our community so that you can ask questions and connect with others going through this path: www.skool.com/sunnysharmasupport
Thank you 🙏🏼
So much love and appreciation for your work, Sunny. That thought "I don't EVER want to think again" has been plaguing me the past few weeks, this really helped me look from a different vantage point and get out from underneath certain concepts and beliefs. ❤
Dear Sunny, thank you sooooooo much for your wonderfully eye and heart opening words! I just discovered you a few days ago and I get glimpses each time i listen to you. I also love your voice and the energy of your personality! Very pure and clear. I have heard and read so much spiritual content, but nobody ever brought me so close to actually "experiemce it"! Thank you so much! I love you! ❤
Glad I found this , defines the thoughts and feelings I’m having and a way to understand them ❤
I think how we are a spirit constantly ebbing & flowing through shifts always occurring never in the same moment or the same “person”. I will listen to this a few more times. It has come into my heart ❤️
There is no i. There is only indescribable LIFE or NO THING mysteriously appearing as all there is & is not. It's beyond understanding! THIS IS IT.
This is amazing. First video I’ve seen with Sunny. He speaks slowly and yet I have to keep pausing to take in the profundity of it. ❤
You appeared out of thin air which is so rarefied the explanation you give, this is being delivered to me at just the right time. Your explanation and clarity I have to start and continue my journey. Thank you for your stillness 🙏
Hi Clifford I’m happy the video resonated with you!
Sunny ,,thanks a ton 🎉
I ❤ this video. As always. 🙏
Jung talking about this. It calles them the archetypes.
Thank you; this worked. 7 seconds of silence came that was endless and can't be expressed. There are no words to explain, but anyway... this helped.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you sunny ,valuable to me .
Hi Sunny! This was truly mind blowing. So basically my understanding of what you are teaching is that the “I” that is bothered is also yet another thought? So we are basically in a loop of thoughts, one thought after another. No wonder the “I” is so disturbed because it can’t get out of the loop of thoughts. The true “I” is not a thought it’s being. Without thought. Let me know if I am on the right track here….
Glad that the message resonated Saira. Well, see what the "I" denotes. What do you refer to when you say "I?"
Usually you're referring to the IDEA you have of yourself, which includes a name, an image of your face, a concept of your story. This is all thought made. This is all concept. That is not what "I" actually is. "I" which is identity is awareness.
So as long as these ideas keep parading around as "I" there will be a sufferer. That right there is personal identity. Without personal identity, there cannot be any suffering.
Yes, being❤
@@selfinquiryschool love this explanation❤️
Check Nisargadatta Maharaj, A Course in Miracles and its two teachers Ken Wapnick and David Hoffmeister.
This is so valuable and beautiful. Thank you 🤍🍃
You explained this very well! subscribed!
Welcome!
To think or do needs the support of the idea of 'I' the idea of personhood... Just being pure awareness can't move....
THAN YOU BROTHER
GREAT PRACTICE❤
GREAT JOB
What you're talking about reminds me of the enneagram concept that personality is who/what you are not.
I appreciated the knowledge you shared and your consistently calm, and balanced tone of voice.😊
Glad it was helpful!
This is so helpful thank yoi
The book Making sense of nonsense by Raymond Moody is part of the awakening process. Simply read to escape the ego world and the illusion of our world. ❤️🙏RW
The subject you first mention, "more identities" is further discussed in a book called Revolutionary Psychology by Samuel Aun Weor.
What he mentions is EGO or EGOS
Except for this video, Sunny, I would never have come to regard and see Ramana Maharshi as a sort of modern-day Socrates!
You had me starting at 1:44. 💫💫💫🙏🏻
"We are known by many names. These are but aspects of the Wholeness of our Being. -- ELM
That was the perfect time, my mind was already very calm and the Identification was still there to some degree. My selfconcept that there is no one behind my eyes... it's working slow without the right questions to internalize, but now whenever I identify with a person in a particular positive/negative Situation, I ask myself this questions and then there is immediate stillness, no one who identifies with a character which has that experience. No I have only to remind me everytime till its automatic and I stay in this calm stillness👍🤗
... if I ask this questions after every thought it works even faster e.g. when I have the urge to distract me or take a sip from my coffee
Brilliant
Sunny. This is powerful. But more significantly is the impactful delivery. Radhakrishnan, YOLAB, South Africa
When the realization that the person doesn’t actually exist, the identity persists through habit. Ramana Maharishi used the analogy of an electric fan continuing to rotate as it ends down when unplugged
I can relate, because my mind tends to be an OPPORTUNISTIC BITCH whenever I see people succeeding at stuff. It feels like we are two DIFFERENT entities.😞
(I'm working on it these days)
This is soooo good, this is really helping me. I want to see the videos about this u mentioned but dont see the link. I did just download the guide that I'll be looking at. I'm watching ur teachings everyday I'm new to ur channel bout 2 weeks n coming across some really great videos uve done. But this for me today in this moment is Gold! Want more lol wd like to do a course of yours if I'm able. $. But for now thank u for this teaching. It's really what I've been trying to get to. How to operate from the awareness state. So grateful for this. I'll be practicing sooo till next time. ❤
Happy that the videos are helping Brian!

Hi Sunny, and this was just wonderful, I see clearly that mind is the greatest story ever told and how language, labels and symbols are used to create concepts about what it thinks is happening but how is this seeing maintained, I'm constantly finding myself suck back into the story
You can’t stop yourself from falling back into it, you can only drop it in a moment of remembrance. The moment you become aware, there’s no psychological chatter
@@selfinquiryschoolmuch appreciation
Im that which doesn't change
And what is our position in relationship to god? divine service -> bhakti yoga. Hare Krsna!
While sitting in silence I haven’t tried or done any inquiry
Jst resting and longing with ease and relaxation gradually the observation is not personal and whatever happens jst passes away and away left with nothing to say this or that but its like the space of existence
I think I experienced the same thing, although I could have just fallen asleep idk. Either way, I just let my thoughts happen and then disappear, repeating that cycle constantly until I just stopped feeling anything. It felt like I was asleep whilst still being aware... And yet I didn't feel awareness. It was just indescribable and unfathomable after the experience was done. Maybe this was experiencing pure awareness, and my not understanding it is because it is beyond my mind?
Brilliant ❤ can you do a video on how to live with people who are completely identified with the false self ......I'm really struggling with dealing with other people atm...
Please post this question in my support group so that I can make a video on it: www.skool.com/sunnysharmasupport
As always…
“Hell is other people”
I’m so grateful for “the others” exposing vividly that my-self-proclaimed-zen-mastery is as perfect as my solitude 😜😂
And then I think about animals - do they get upset about “other” species
And then I think about computer games - just master one “little wall” at the time no matter what others are doing
And then I think about life - a self propelling and self propagating intertwined weave that goes under and above and side to side
And then I am at absolute peace 🙏🙏🙏
And then…. OMG !!! It’s coming again!!!
someone else over-identified with their self imposed ego enters my safe heaven, my perfectly raked zen garden and challenges my super peaceful nature 😂😜🤩
How dare “you”
And then I see myself
The funny little creature puffing and huffing at “others”
And then I laugh again
My own, well hidden ego 2.0 needs a lot of help to be exposed and my own superiority gets a lot of Buddha’s laughs on the way
And all “these damned others” help me a lot
🌊😱🥰
I would ask myself who is the one that is struggling, see what happens..
@@henkhooghuis1680 I know it's the false self but it won't go away 🤣🤣🤣
@@one-ej8dr who wants it to go away? You can drop the pressure on making anything go away by letting it be and just observing. Look for it and all you will find is sensation and experience, no separate self. Your belief in that seperate self will naturally leave as you abide in awareness and demonstrate the lack of separate self with your investigation. All the best!
My awareness thanks your awareness. 🙏🏼 how to center purpose to achieve financial abundance and more than enough in order be flowing in giving as a conduit for good?
❤
Ι would say that the fact is "I dont know'
What's unclear for me is, it's obvious that there's something that is confused. Who is that? Is that then the awareness that is confused? How to see that?
There’s nobody that’s confused. Confusion is a mind made concept, it’s all thought. You’re only the witness of it
Ok, great... but with all of this: how are we supposed to function in the everyday life? How are we supposed to communicate and relate to each other?
Title: One question
Answer: Somewhere in 39 minutes
awesome video! I might have missed it, but could you share the name of the book that you reference throughout the video which you had been reading? It would be great to add to my reading list ❤
The business book name is E myth. However the spiritual principle discussed in the video is the essence of the book who am I? By ramana maharshi
Hi mr shwarma
Does it mean that what I am really does not want/desire/prefer/fear/carry trauma/think/experience/express itself/encounter 'others' etc.? But the 'not bothered' part will influence the personal identity, and its emotions, behaviors etc., right?

"I" has NOTHING to do with PERSONHOOD, "I" refers simply to our BE-ing. The "AM" refers to personhood as what follows the AM is what we ARE in OBJECT reality alone. Go to the RAW experience of JUST being. What is there? 🙏
Hi Sunny 🙏🏼
Can you explain the “pointer”? I must have missed it.🙏🏼
Is it self inquiry? Is that what the inquiry is pointing to 👉🏻our awareness/ I am?
If so , lol 😂 i innerstand now.
I allowed That word “pointer” to confuse that which I am not 😆
Pointers are many. But generally yes it’s referring to the practice of self inquiry, where we turn away from what we know and notice the very knowing itself (awareness of self)

THEN, THE :HAPPENING
Glad u mentioned that u need to become a person when u are building up a business.
I really face this pbm. Actually I have exam for job two months after. Now I don't know that how to take an identity which would ensure that I get the job, what identity I should take to do the study for performing well in exam. assumptions being if I study then I can clear the written exam. That's an assumption too right? Because it is observed my awareness.
I don't feel any interest to prepare because all thoughts are concept. I don't even fear that if I can't crack the exam. Because fear is also being observed.
I feel like I don't need anything.
Though I know anirban needs the job to meet his expenses.
Could u please guide?
You don't need to do something "to take on" any identity. I would advise to do your absolute best to prepare for your exam and pass. Whether you pass or not, leave that to God. From your part, do what you can.
@@selfinquiryschool in that "doing" What is involved. Only studying or should I visualize. I mean what is the cause of any event. Who decides future? If God decides. Then trying for something doesn't make sense. Please elaborate?

Once I watched 3 episodes of a Comedy sitcom. I thought the pilot was great. And it would be a hit just like Seinfeld way before Seinfeld this show was about nothing but what happened in this guy,s head and it was represented by people talking to him in an apartment (his head) and they all had conflicting beliefs and ideas So he thought he talked to himself but it was this characters running his life. The show never aired . No explanation or mention why ..I don't even remember the name of the show to look it up ..weird indeed
what is the name of that business book?

There must have been no doer.
Is there a short for this? Because if you're going to have a headline like this question kills ego, I do not want to sit through a 40 minute video to find out what the question is
It would be hard to understand the significance of the question without hearing the full discussion :)
@@selfinquiryschool yeah, I feel you. You got to get views for sure if you're going to earn from UA-cam. So what's the question? I'll do further due diligence and maybe watch the whole video if it's sufficiently compelling.
