I've listened to this more times than I can count... and will over and over many more times. And I hear more each time... I am aware of more each time. I hope one day I am blessed to hear Gangaji in person. :)
Any thought that you have had about yourself, however deflated or inflated, is not who you are. It is simply a thought. The truth of who you are cannot be thought, because it is the source of all thoughts. The truth of who you are cannot be named or defined. Words like soul, light, God, truth, self, consciousness, the universal intelligence, or divinity, while capable of evoking the bliss of the truth, are grossly inadequate as a description of the immensity of who you truly are. However you identify yourself: as child, adolescent, a mother, a father, an older person, healthy person, sick person, a suffering person, or an enlightened person - always, behind all of that, is the truth of yourself. It is not foreign to you. It is so close that you cannot believe it is you. The truth of who you are is untouched by any concept of who you are, whether ignorant or enlightened, worthless or grand. The truth of who you are is free of it all. You are already free and all that blocks your realization of that freedom is your own attachment to some thought of who you are. This thought doesn't keep you from being the truth of who you are. You already are that. It separates you from the realization of who you are. I invite you to let your attention dive into what has always been here, waiting openly for its own self-realization. Who are you, really? Are you some image that appears in your mind? Are you some sensation that appears in your body? Are you some emotion that passes through your mind and body? Are you something that someone else has said you are, or are you the rebellion against something that someone else has said you are? These are some of the many avenues of misidentification. All of these definitions come and go, are born and then die. The truth of who you are does not come and go. It is present before birth, throughout a lifetime, and after death. To discover the truth of who you are is not only possible it is your birthright. Any thoughts that this discovery is not for you, now is not the time, you are not worthy, you are not ready, you already know who you are, are just tricks of the mind. It is time to investigate this I-thought and see what validity it really has. In this examination, there is an opening for the conscious intelligence that you are to finally recognize itself. The most important question you can ever ask yourself is: Who am I? In a certain way, this has been an implicit question asked throughout every stage of your life. Every activity, whether individual or collective, is motivated at its root by a search for self-definition. Typically, you search for a positive answer to this question and run away from a negative answer. Once this question becomes explicit, the momentum and the power of the question direct the search for the true answer, which is open-ended, alive, and filled with ever deepening insight. You have experienced both success and failure. After a certain stage, early or late, you realize that, who you are, however that is defined, is not satisfying. Unless this question has been truly answered, not just conventionally answered, you will still be hungry to know. Because, no matter how you have been defined by others, well-meaning or not, and no matter how you have defined yourself, no definition can bring lasting certitude. The moment of recognizing that no answer has ever satisfied this question is crucial. It is often referred to as the moment of spiritual ripeness, the moment of spiritual maturity. At this point, you can consciously investigate who you really are. In its power and simplicity, the question Who am I? throws the mind back to the root of personal identification, the basic assumption: I am somebody. Rather than automatically taking that assumption as the truth, you can investigate deeper. It is not difficult to see that this initial thought, "I am somebody", leads to all kinds of strategies: to be a better somebody, a more protected somebody, a somebody with more pleasure, more comfort, more attainment. But when this very basic thought is questioned, the mind encounters the I that is assumed to be separate from what it has been seeking. This is called self-inquiry. This most basic question: Who am I?, is the one that is the most overlooked. We spend most of our days telling ourselves or others we are someone important, someone unimportant, someone big, someone little, someone young, someone old, never truly questioning this most basic assumption: Who are you, really? How do you know: that is who you are? Is that true? Really? When you turn your attention toward the question: Who am I? perhaps you will see an entity that has your face and your body. But who is aware of that entity? Are you the object, or, are you the awareness of the object? The object comes and goes. The parent, the child, the lover, the abandoned one, the enlightened one, the victorious one, the defeated one. These identifications all come and go. The awareness of these identifications is always present. The misidentification of yourself as some object in awareness leads to extreme pleasure or extreme pain and endless cycles of suffering. When you are willing to stop the misidentification and discover directly and completely that you are the awareness itself and not these impermanent definitions, the search for yourself in thought ends. When the question Who? is followed innocently, purely, all the way back to its source, there is a huge, astounding realization: There is no entity there at all! There is only the indefinable, boundless recognition of yourself as inseparable from anything else. You are free. You are whole. You are endless. There is no bottom to you, no boundary to you. Any idea about yourself appears in you and will disappear back into you. You are awareness, and awareness is consciousness. Let all self-definitions die in this moment. Let them go, and see what remains. See what is never born and what does not die. Feel the relief of laying down the burden of defining yourself. Experience the actual non-reality of the burden. Experience the joy that is here. Rest in the endless peace of your true nature before any thought of I arises.
Try eyes filled with tears around 6:28 and same intense emotion lasted the remainder of the video. This was powerful and I thank you so much for this. 👁🕉💓
We are the SOURCE of all human and spiritual experience, the quintessential source that is prior to and beyond experiences of being and non-being, THAT YOU ARE!
'To die before you die' refers to the complete abandonment of all identification, and surrender of ego to higher intelligence, or consciousness. By going through this process, fear loses its counterproductive grip on our mental settings and conditioning, freeing the mind to become the rightful tool to unconditional and fruitful commitment and cooporation towards the 'greater good'. Cosmic knowledg...e flows right through, showing its light through the fire in the eyes of those who 'died'. It often takes tragedy or severe loss indeed to make the 'break', but not necessarily. Sometimes 'shortcuts' can be taken or are being offered by moment of bliss, or awe, as we may find ourselves struck by experiences of beauty and harmony, even in the darkest of places. There's no manual, but opportunities are random and abundant for those 'who have eyes to see'. From a certain point one realizes and acknowledges deeply that what is sought is actually seeking, in ways beyond our knowledge or interpretation. That's where miracles happen. What are our perspectives on 'cognitive state ' built upon essentially ? What do we really know about our existence at a most fundamental, non interpretative level ? And what do we understand about consciousness of trees and plants for instance, or memory of water, even if science is now beginning to catch the very first glimpses ? If we consider ourselves the cutting edge of universal cognitivity or complexity, what exactly gives us the right or pretence to do so ? From a more neutral point of view, ignorance and awareness of it may well be the highest state of what we call 'intelligence'. Our mind and senses are such tricky tools ! The reward is in the journey, much rather than in its destination. True understanding of this takes root in a non linear life perspective, freed from mental anticipation, through recognition of universal intelligence and expansive love (the higher plane) beyond all physical appearance or manifestation. The 'local' accomplishment of connecting both our brain hemispheres, and thus aligning ego/mind with this intuitive, non local knowledge may be seen as the prelude to a much more fundamental transcendence into time- and spaceless realms. Using words and language like this to express the inexpressible is a borderline exercise, guiding us right to the gates of Source ; from that point verbal communication makes way for a much deeper acknowledgment of what we truly are. That particular moment in life's delta, regardless of age, where the drop of water realizes it has carried the ocean all the time. Our quest has merged already, dear friend, we actually never 'left'. Reading each other's words like our own is one of the last signposts towards re-unification, like the perception of 'different' colors in a rainbow, whether they appear and present themselves as humans or mountains.
Beautiful video containing the most pleasing scenes of nature's wonder and words of divine insight. I enjoyed a really beautiful experience which echoed the inspirational words of Paul Brunton and his teacher Ramana Maharshi- WONDERFUL!
hi kosi thank you for your loving voice . beautiful clip. very therapeutic. l recommend this for anyone seeking true themselves. an spiritual journey. watched your clips many times. each word you spoke calmly penetrated in me. nice job. l am sure there are others experience the same. thanks again to you and others who participated in making these clips.
Thank you for this video!!! April 15th 1981 was my birthday... April 16th 2011 is the the first day of my 30th year on the planet... This day also marks the day I started a journey of enlightenment. Thank you Ma'am :-). My 10 year mark is in 3 years... This video serves as a positive reinforcement of the combination of all the knowledge and experience I have had in my life. This video surely does reinforce all of the things I have learned in my lifetime thank you so very very much!!!
I don''t feel I have learned ANYTHING from all the rotten things that have happened to me. If there's a Plan behind it to enable us to "grow and evolve", then I'm not seeing it. To me, it's a series of random events that make no sense.
It is with great gratitude that I thank you for reminding me that I am free and one with the infinite unspeakable expression of all that is. Amazing...!!!!
so beautiful and poignant for spiritual pilgrims in this modern world where one can so easily loose one's sense of direction. Great video. Blessings to you for it. br Sean xxx
I was driving once and 3 miles later I came to the realization that I didn't remember how I got there...I would have to assume that's what happens when you let who you really are behind the wheel. There's no question that there is a self that the chattering mind distracts us from realizing...mainly because it knows that the real self is a much more efficient driver and fears a corporate take-over:)
As you said the step is who you are not, by just throwing the idea of who you really are not, one does a great step in awareness of who you really are. That's the road to lightness and freedom. And just enjoy the freedom.
No you don't really get freedom from that discovered enlightenment. We still have to live here on this earth and cope with all the things we do. I believe in God and life after death. But that knowledge, while comforting, is of no practical use to me here on this plane of existence.
im not very good at being what i am here on earth im emotional, unstable, and some more stuff. when i take time from this reality of who im suppose to be and watch the sunrise and the sunsets my soul soars i feel such a connection an amazement a love to where tears will roll down my eyes. the beauty is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish i could stay there. still dont know exactly who i am but i have found some things that i love truly that my heart and soul loves im finding who i am finially im 49 it has took a long time.
G.U.R.U. ......geeee...... you ......are......you😉

I love her soft, soothing voice; she calms me. She makes me realize that we are all exactly the same. We are all one soul. Therefore, when I smile at someone, I smile at myself. When I hug someone, I hug myself. When I abuse someone, I abuse myself. Love begets love. Hate begets hate. Who am I? I am everyone and everyone is me. Thank you, Ms. Gangaji. Peace.
What does a moral conservative have in common with the radical left, for instance - who believe in murdering babies and supporting perverted acts e.t.c. ? I want nothing to do with those types.
I read the comments and am pleased that so many have found something that has touched them in these words. I'm four minutes in and wondering if it is worth the struggle to make out what is being said when the narration goes soft and the music overrides. You have given me hope to carry on, I shall try again.
Thank you so much for this video and for lovely voice. It looked as if it will take forever to get to the end of this video as i went so deep just by listening....question who am i put my mind to silence.....thank you once again....and god bless.....
She did provide the answer to the question: You are the Awareness Itself at 7:03 ... This post is further to Othalos Brooks message 1 week ago, while at the same time, kindly note that the answer to what is awareness can only be truly known/recognized through direct experience...
.... My eyes have opened, and now I can see my wings. You've reminded me I am fee, and I can fly about the endless sky without worry of who I am. tat tvam asi, you have truely changed my life.
TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOL: Cualquier pensamiento que hayas tenido sobre ti mismo, que sea algo positivo o negativo no es quien eres. Es sólo un pensamiento. La verdad de quien eres no puede ser "pensada", porque ella es la fuente de todos los pensamientos. No se puede definir o darle nombre a la verdad de quién eres. Palabras como alma, luz, Dios, verdad, ser, conciencia inteligencia universal o divinidad, aunque sean capaces de evocar el éxtasis de la verdad, son insuficientes como descripción de la inmensidad de quien eres realmente. Independientemente de cómo te identifiques: como un niño, un adolescente, una madre, un padre, una persona más adulta, una persona saludable, una persona enferma una persona que sufre o una persona iluminada - siempre, detrás de todo eso, está la verdad de ti mismo. No es ajena a ti. Está tan cerca que no puedes creer que eres tú. No existe un concepto para definir la verdad de quien eres, ignorante o iluminado, inútil o grandioso. La verdad de quien eres, está libre de todo eso. Ya eres libre, y todo lo que te impide lograr esa libertad es tu apego a alguna idea sobre quien eres. Este pensamiento no impide que seas la verdad de quien eres. Tú ya eres eso. Te separa del descubrimiento de quien eres realmente. Te invitamos a dejar que tu atención se sumerga en aquello que siempre ha estado ahí, esperando abiertamente por su propio auto-descubrimiento. ¿Quién eres, realmente? ¿Eres alguna imagen que aparece en tu mente? ¿Eres alguna sensación que aparece en tu cuerpo? ¿Eres tú alguna emoción que pasa por tu mente o tu cuerpo? ¿Eres algo que alguien dice que tú eres? ¿O eres la rebeldía contra algo que alguien ha dicho que eres? Estos son algunos de los muchos errores de identificación. Todas estas definiciones vienen y se van, nacen y después mueren. La verdad de lo que eres, no viene y se va. Ella está presente antes del nacimiento, durante toda la vida y después de la muerte. Descubrir la verdad acerca de quien eres, no solo es posible, es tu derecho de nacimiento. Cualquier pensamiento de que este descubrimiento no es para ti, que aún no es tiempo, que no eres digno, que no estás listo, que tú ya sabes quien eres, son sólo trucos de la mente. Es hora de investigar este pensamiento y ver qué validez realmente tiene. En esta investigación existe una apertura para que la conciencia inteligente que eres, finalmente se reconozca a sí misma. La pregunta más importante que puedes hacerte es: ¿Quién soy yo? De cierta forma, esta ha sido una pregunta implícita, hecha en cada etapa de tu vida. Toda actividad, sea individual o colectiva, es motivada en su raíz por una búsqueda de auto-definición. Normalmente, buscas una respuesta positiva a esta pregunta y huyes de una respuesta negativa. Cuando esta pregunta se vuelve explícita, el impulso y el poder de la pregunta orientan a la búsqueda de la verdadera respuesta, la cual está abierta, viva, y llena de una "comprensión" cada vez más profunda. Tú has experimentado tanto el éxito como el fracaso. Después de un cierto tiempo, tarde o temprano, te das cuenta que quien eres, por más que la definas, no es satisfactoria. A menos que esta pregunta haya sido 'verdaderamente respondida', - no sólo convencionalmente respondida - seguirás con el hambre de saber. Puesto que no importa cómo hayas sido definido por los otros, bien intencionado o no, y no importa cómo te hayas definido a ti mismo, ninguna definición puede traer certidumbre duradera. El momento en que reconozcas que ninguna respuesta jamás ha satisfecho esta pregunta, es crucial. A menudo se lo denomina como el momento de madurez espiritual, el momento de madurez de la vida espiritual. En este punto, tú puedes concientemente investigar quien realmente eres. En su poder y simplicidad, la pregunta "¿Quién soy yo?" lanza la mente de nuevo a la raíz de la identificación personal, la hipótesis básica: yo soy alguien. En vez de automáticamente aceptar esta suposición como la verdad, puedes investigar más. No es difícil ver que este pensamiento inicial de "yo soy alguien", conduce a todo tipo de estrategias: ser un mejor 'alguien', un 'alguien' más protegido, un 'alguien' con más placer, más confortable, más realizado. Pero cuando este pensamiento muy básico es cuestionado, la mente encuentra el yo el cual estaba separado de lo que ella ha estado buscando. Esto se llama auto-investigación. La pregunta más básica: "¿Quién soy yo?", es la que más se pasa por alto. Pasamos la mayor parte de nuestros días diciéndonos a nosotros mismos o a los demás que somos alguien importante, alguien sin importancia, alguien grande, alguien pequeño, alguien joven o alguien viejo, sin nunca realmente cuestionar esta suposición tan básica: ¿Quién eres, realmente? ¿Cómo sabes que esto es quien eres en realidad? ¿Es verdad? ¿Realmente? Cuando llevas tu atención hacia esta pregunta: "¿Quién soy yo?" tal vez veas una entidad la cual tiene tu cara y tu cuerpo. ¿Pero quién es conciente de esa entidad? ¿Eres el objeto, o eres la percepción del objeto? El objeto viene y se va. El padre, el niño, el amante, el abandonado, el iluminado, el victorioso, o el derrotado. Todas estas identificaciones vienen y se van. La percepción de estas identificaciones está siempre presente. La errónea identificación de uno mismo como algún objeto dentro de la percepción lleva al extremo placer o extremo dolor y a ciclos interminables de sufrimiento. Cuando estás dispuesto a terminar con la errónea identificación y descubrir directa y completamente que tú eres la propia conciencia y no estas definiciones efímeras, la búsqueda de ti mismo en los pensamientos, termina. Cuando la pregunta "¿quién?" es perseguida de forma inocente, pura, en todo el camino de vuelta a su origen, surge un gran y asombroso descubrimiento: ¡no hay ninguna entidad allí! Apenas el indefinible e ilimitado reconocimiento de ti mismo como inseparable de cualquier otra cosa. Eres libre Estás completo, eres infinito. No hay final para ti, no hay límite. Cualquier idea sobre ti mismo que aparezca desaparecerá de vuelta en ti. Eres la percepción, y la percepción es la conciencia Deja que todas las auto-definiciones mueran en este momento. Déjalas ir, y ve lo que permanece. Ve lo que nunca ha nacido y lo que no muere. Siente el alivio de dejar caer la carga de definirte a ti mismo. Experimenta la verdad de la irrealidad de la carga. Experimenta la alegría que está aquí. Descansa en la infinita paz de tu verdadera naturaleza antes de que cualquier pensamiento del Yo surja.
Advice to all with any disabilities~ Listen, feel, remember, and recognize, in your consciousness that you are here and now you must be aware of who you really are. Your soul has always been. For the sake of all humanity we need reprogramming to the simplicity of the I AM to remember exactly how powerful and wise WE ARE. For the post , i feel i need to share just one life changing moment that has grown on me to really dive back into who I AM. Oct, 7, 2017 my soul was surely graced and cared over. When this body and mind was ready to end it all. And it doesn't shame me to admit that I got weak to think that way. BUT, EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON. Diagnosed Diffuse Axanol Injury Grade III. Seven years in, miracles for my stillness and healing for my action to BE again. When this song keeps getting thrown into my playlist for the day and I've listen to it multiple times. I AM listening 🧘♀️
"...and now you must be aware of who you really are", So fucking what if I know who I am ? How does this make me happier ? My circumstances in this world remain the same whether I accept that as fact or not. What's the big deal then ? If we're the equivalent of Jesus why can't / don't we ever see anyone using those same powers and abilities to do the miracles He did ? Has any of you seen anyone turn water into wine ? Or feed a large crowd with just a few loaves and fish ? We never do.
Ironically, I often hesitate to share posts that contain an inherent religious message because of the contradicting religious attachment that is imbedded in the message. As it is impossible to believe in nothing, it is also impossible to believe in anything without ego attachment. Just the same, I am uplifted by this video, as it comes close to putting into words what I came to understand as the most significant actuality one can discover as the underlying principles of sub-particle physics. And the deeper irony lies in the fact that I came to this realization when in pursuit of the fundamental principles of sub-particle physics as a way to find some solid ground in place of religion. Something that did not demand an act of "faith". In attempting to understand "What do we actually know, and what does it tell us about what we are?" I came full circle to seeing the illusory nature of reality as reality itself. That realization creates the most profound knowing of humility due to the very nature of what is understood, because it becomes impossible not to see that what we imagine ourselves to be is an absolute illusion, and the truth of what we are is the rose within the seed, something beyond what we can to form an attachment to using any means that we can find or see. Because the centering point of reality can not be seen or defined within the realm of the possibilities of human consciousness. Ah, but then there is the unconscious mind. Which has always known.
For me this video is just about a choice I have. The choice to no longer buy into the deceptions of my own mind, to more and more recognise myself in this peaceful awareness that IS me and be free of suffering. No matter how I feel or whatever shit happens. Well, with that freedom simply being MY choice.... what could possibly be wrong with that?
¿Quién Eres Realmente .... Cualquier pensamiento que hayas tenido sobre ti mismo, pequeño o desmesurado, no es quien eres. Es sólo un pensamiento.

I can translate it in Rumi poetry. I'm not just a drop in the ocean, l m entire ocean in a drop. Rumi and Romana and you speak the same beautiful language .
Perfect. After this all other searching only serves to waste Time and allow the Me to solidify it's unreality, to pretend that it cannot be this simple.
it's all much simpler than anyone realizes..."be nothing" and simply stay there. kosi is beautiful, of course and maybe there is a need to explain the inexplicable with the music, imagery and words she uses...maybe it will bring some out of the unnecessary suffering we place on ourselves by defending the temporary and contrived personality. the simplicity is: be quiet and let the mind die an idiot's death.
Thanks for your words, the video and music. I really like them. It would be nice to add all the subtitles from dotsub to this video... because dotsub doesn't work on my mobile telephone and I don't know if it works in other mobile device.
Beautiful... The noise like from a scratched vinyl which is coming with the voice (more in the second half) is there for everybody or its just me who noticed this?
Thanks for posting such a good questioning process into the unknown of oneself. What in us is asking the questions? Could it be that the Creator of all life, It-She-He, seeded the compulsion in humans to unlock the, always in our time, search for the truth of itself? The eternal wonder is, after we have had the spiritual transformation into true humanbeing, can we send back a facsimile response that it may wonder at? The glory of life is always before us. Can we become, perhaps, each day a little, the future glory of Life in it's finest, highest point?
This is still a favorite. Thank you so much. Is there any way to get it without ads? It is so powerful and needed now more than ever. Infinite Blessings and thanks!
I see what this video is directing me to. That I am pure awareness. However even if I tried to live it as that, what difference does it make to the way I feel about the world and my problems ? This revelation of me being God or the Universe doesn't alter much of what I'm already "aware" of - that my life is not as I want it to be. And that I can't do anything about it. It's not a satisfying solution. Yet I'm meant to be joyful at this new found cosmic knowledge ? . The best time of my day is when I go to sleep at night. Then I'm not aware of anything. THAT, to me is bliss. LACK of awareness, not RAISED awareness. And I do have peace. At least temporarily, until I wake up the next day. 😑😔😮💨
I've listened to this more times than I can count... and will over and over many more times. And I hear more each time... I am aware of more each time. I hope one day I am blessed to hear Gangaji in person. :)
Excellent Share - thanks Sue!!
Same to me, countless i hear this words, allways with tears in my eys
I have been for almost 10 years
Same! Such a blessing Gangaji is to this world, isn't she.
This message couldn't be any stronger. ❤️
the most profound words I have ever heard 🙏 touches my head, my heart, my soul, my spirit, my all and my no-thing 💖 I am the awareness of all I am.
One of the greatest lectures revealing wisdom--ever.
Thank you Kosi Thank you Gangaji
so beautifully composed .... all aspects .... video, music and literature ... ultimate peace
Any thought that you have had about yourself, however deflated or inflated, is not who you are. It is simply a thought. The truth of who you are cannot be thought, because it is the source of all thoughts. The truth of who you are cannot be named or defined. Words like soul, light, God, truth, self, consciousness, the universal intelligence, or divinity, while capable of evoking the bliss of the truth, are grossly inadequate as a description of the immensity of who you truly are. However you identify yourself: as child, adolescent, a mother, a father, an older person, healthy person, sick person, a suffering person, or an enlightened person - always, behind all of that, is the truth of yourself. It is not foreign to you. It is so close that you cannot believe it is you. The truth of who you are is untouched by any concept of who you are, whether ignorant or enlightened, worthless or grand. The truth of who you are is free of it all. You are already free and all that blocks your realization of that freedom is your own attachment to some thought of who you are. This thought doesn't keep you from being the truth of who you are. You already are that. It separates you from the realization of who you are. I invite you to let your attention dive into what has always been here, waiting openly for its own self-realization. Who are you, really? Are you some image that appears in your mind? Are you some sensation that appears in your body? Are you some emotion that passes through your mind and body? Are you something that someone else has said you are, or are you the rebellion against something that someone else has said you are? These are some of the many avenues of misidentification. All of these definitions come and go, are born and then die. The truth of who you are does not come and go. It is present before birth, throughout a lifetime, and after death. To discover the truth of who you are is not only possible it is your birthright. Any thoughts that this discovery is not for you, now is not the time, you are not worthy, you are not ready, you already know who you are, are just tricks of the mind. It is time to investigate this I-thought and see what validity it really has. In this examination, there is an opening for the conscious intelligence that you are to finally recognize itself. The most important question you can ever ask yourself is: Who am I? In a certain way, this has been an implicit question asked throughout every stage of your life. Every activity, whether individual or collective, is motivated at its root by a search for self-definition. Typically, you search for a positive answer to this question and run away from a negative answer. Once this question becomes explicit, the momentum and the power of the question direct the search for the true answer, which is open-ended, alive, and filled with ever deepening insight. You have experienced both success and failure. After a certain stage, early or late, you realize that, who you are, however that is defined, is not satisfying. Unless this question has been truly answered, not just conventionally answered, you will still be hungry to know. Because, no matter how you have been defined by others, well-meaning or not, and no matter how you have defined yourself, no definition can bring lasting certitude. The moment of recognizing that no answer has ever satisfied this question is crucial. It is often referred to as the moment of spiritual ripeness, the moment of spiritual maturity. At this point, you can consciously investigate who you really are. In its power and simplicity, the question Who am I? throws the mind back to the root of personal identification, the basic assumption: I am somebody. Rather than automatically taking that assumption as the truth, you can investigate deeper. It is not difficult to see that this initial thought, "I am somebody", leads to all kinds of strategies: to be a better somebody, a more protected somebody, a somebody with more pleasure, more comfort, more attainment. But when this very basic thought is questioned, the mind encounters the I that is assumed to be separate from what it has been seeking. This is called self-inquiry. This most basic question: Who am I?, is the one that is the most overlooked. We spend most of our days telling ourselves or others we are someone important, someone unimportant, someone big, someone little, someone young, someone old, never truly questioning this most basic assumption: Who are you, really? How do you know: that is who you are? Is that true? Really? When you turn your attention toward the question: Who am I? perhaps you will see an entity that has your face and your body. But who is aware of that entity? Are you the object, or, are you the awareness of the object? The object comes and goes. The parent, the child, the lover, the abandoned one, the enlightened one, the victorious one, the defeated one. These identifications all come and go. The awareness of these identifications is always present. The misidentification of yourself as some object in awareness leads to extreme pleasure or extreme pain and endless cycles of suffering. When you are willing to stop the misidentification and discover directly and completely that you are the awareness itself and not these impermanent definitions, the search for yourself in thought ends. When the question Who? is followed innocently, purely, all the way back to its source, there is a huge, astounding realization: There is no entity there at all! There is only the indefinable, boundless recognition of yourself as inseparable from anything else. You are free. You are whole. You are endless. There is no bottom to you, no boundary to you. Any idea about yourself appears in you and will disappear back into you. You are awareness, and awareness is consciousness. Let all self-definitions die in this moment. Let them go, and see what remains. See what is never born and what does not die. Feel the relief of laying down the burden of defining yourself. Experience the actual non-reality of the burden. Experience the joy that is here. Rest in the endless peace of your true nature before any thought of I arises.

Nice
Thank you so much for transcribing this :)
THANK YOU for transcribing it!!
Thank you for that 🙏🏽
This video changed my life forever. Revisiting after many years. Such bliss.
The video and audio presentation here is some of the best online you'll ever find
I am nothing and everything. At the same time, always and forever. 🙏
This is so so touching. Thank you so much for having put this together. What a relief. 💓
This is as clear as it gets folks--Love to All -Thank You Gangaji
It may be clear yes, but it doesn't really change anything. Just makes you accept your lot in life more calmly.
Try eyes filled with tears around 6:28 and same intense emotion lasted the remainder of the video. This was powerful and I thank you so much for this. 👁🕉💓
...still doesnt hold a candle to who you really are ,.....lol
In deep gratitude for this 🙏🌟💛💛💛🌟
Absorbed by the beauty and depth of this and the freaking commercial appears and disconnects you from it…
We are not human being having spiritual experience, we are spiritual being having human experience
Well said and I hope truly said. Namaste.
+James Muncy Namaste mate, we already have the flame of spirituality witin ourself, we just need to realize it and walk out of ignorance.
We are the SOURCE of all human and spiritual experience, the quintessential source that is prior to and beyond experiences of being and non-being, THAT YOU ARE!
*apparent human experience
Wtf I read that and felt the strangest feeling in my head
'To die before you die' refers to the complete abandonment of all identification, and surrender of ego to higher intelligence, or consciousness. By going through this process, fear loses its counterproductive grip on our mental settings and conditioning, freeing the mind to become the rightful tool to unconditional and fruitful commitment and cooporation towards the 'greater good'. Cosmic knowledg...e flows right through, showing its light through the fire in the eyes of those who 'died'.
It often takes tragedy or severe loss indeed to make the 'break', but not necessarily. Sometimes 'shortcuts' can be taken or are being offered by moment of bliss, or awe, as we may find ourselves struck by experiences of beauty and harmony, even in the darkest of places. There's no manual, but opportunities are random and abundant for those 'who have eyes to see'. From a certain point one realizes and acknowledges deeply that what is sought is actually seeking, in ways beyond our knowledge or interpretation. That's where miracles happen.
What are our perspectives on 'cognitive state ' built upon essentially ? What do we really know about our existence at a most fundamental, non interpretative level ? And what do we understand about consciousness of trees and plants for instance, or memory of water, even if science is now beginning to catch the very first glimpses ? If we consider ourselves the cutting edge of universal cognitivity or complexity, what exactly gives us the right or pretence to do so ? From a more neutral point of view, ignorance and awareness of it may well be the highest state of what we call 'intelligence'. Our mind and senses are such tricky tools !
The reward is in the journey, much rather than in its destination. True understanding of this takes root in a non linear life perspective, freed from mental anticipation, through recognition of universal intelligence and expansive love (the higher plane) beyond all physical appearance or manifestation. The 'local' accomplishment of connecting both our brain hemispheres, and thus aligning ego/mind with this intuitive, non local knowledge may be seen as the prelude to a much more fundamental transcendence into time- and spaceless realms. Using words and language like this to express the inexpressible is a borderline exercise, guiding us right to the gates of Source ; from that point verbal communication makes way for a much deeper acknowledgment of what we truly are. That particular moment in life's delta, regardless of age, where the drop of water realizes it has carried the ocean all the time.
Our quest has merged already, dear friend, we actually never 'left'. Reading each other's words like our own is one of the last signposts towards re-unification, like the perception of 'different' colors in a rainbow, whether they appear and present themselves as humans or mountains.
🙏👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you. Finally, somebody shot the inscape of the human soul. Gorgeous.
What a way to start the day...
Thanks for sharing this profound and heart touch words....
Beautiful video containing the most pleasing scenes of nature's wonder and words of divine insight. I enjoyed a really beautiful experience which echoed the inspirational words of Paul Brunton and his teacher Ramana Maharshi- WONDERFUL!
I love this video in ways that words cannot describe. Pure LOVE ❤❤❤
I adore this video..shared it on face book in 2011 & it popped up on memories today & re-shared it. It is such a powerful message. Thank you
I don't find any help from it, but I too will share it online in the event that others might understand what I can't.
So incredibly beautiful. The words, the images, the music... oh where they come from!
This channel is a beautiful gift. The message in this video brings one back to one's core essence... exquisite!
even though, I am getting old passed 62 years, still
motivated by you since then years ago
thanks alot for your output
hi kosi thank you for your loving voice . beautiful clip. very therapeutic. l recommend this for anyone seeking true themselves. an spiritual journey. watched your clips many times. each word you spoke calmly penetrated in me. nice job. l am sure there are others experience the same. thanks again to you and others who participated in making these clips.
+ramin Yazdi btw the voice is from gangaji...
Excellent. This is probably the clearest description of my own beliefs arrived the hard way because of my stubbornness. Very deep and profound.
This made me cry, tears of joy, remembering who we are. :) thank you
Thank you for this video!!! April 15th 1981 was my birthday... April 16th 2011 is the the first day of my 30th year on the planet... This day also marks the day I started a journey of enlightenment. Thank you Ma'am :-). My 10 year mark is in 3 years... This video serves as a positive reinforcement of the combination of all the knowledge and experience I have had in my life. This video surely does reinforce all of the things I have learned in my lifetime thank you so very very much!!!
I don''t feel I have learned ANYTHING from all the rotten things that have happened to me. If there's a Plan behind it to enable us to "grow and evolve", then I'm not seeing it. To me, it's a series of random events that make no sense.
a very graceful exercise for the self. thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us.
It is with great gratitude that I thank you for reminding me that I am free and one with the infinite unspeakable expression of all that is. Amazing...!!!!
So beautiful & complete in Truth
so beautiful and poignant for spiritual pilgrims in this modern world where one can so easily loose one's sense of direction. Great video. Blessings to you for it. br Sean xxx
If were 2 persons, I would physically remove myself and put me in front of myself and start having a serious conversation, wow, amazing!
I was driving once and 3 miles later I came to the realization that I didn't remember how I got there...I would have to assume that's what happens when you let who you really are behind the wheel. There's no question that there is a self that the chattering mind distracts us from realizing...mainly because it knows that the real self is a much more efficient driver and fears a corporate take-over:)
or maybe you were drunk
What a Beautiful, crystal clear way this is presented. Awesome thank you and Blessings.
Wonderful video! Thank you very much for sharing, Kosi!
Thank you ... Just beautiful!
As you said the step is who you are not, by just throwing the idea of who you really are not, one does a great step in awareness of who you really are. That's the road to lightness and freedom. And just enjoy the freedom.
No you don't really get freedom from that discovered enlightenment. We still have to live here on this earth and cope with all the things we do.
I believe in God and life after death. But that knowledge, while comforting, is of no practical use to me here on this plane of existence.
I love this video so much. Deeply moving. Thank you
Absolutely beautiful.
So touching. Thank you.
Beautiful. Thank you.
im not very good at being what i am here on earth im emotional, unstable, and some more stuff. when i take time from this reality of who im suppose to be and watch the sunrise and the sunsets my soul soars i feel such a connection an amazement a love to where tears will roll down my eyes. the beauty is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish i could stay there. still dont know exactly who i am but i have found some things that i love truly that my heart and soul loves im finding who i am finially im 49 it has took a long time.
G.U.R.U. ......geeee...... you ......are......you😉
I love her soft, soothing voice; she calms me. She makes me realize that we are all exactly the same. We are all one soul. Therefore, when I smile at someone, I smile at myself. When I hug someone, I hug myself. When I abuse someone, I abuse myself. Love begets love. Hate begets hate. Who am I? I am everyone and everyone is me. Thank you, Ms. Gangaji. Peace.
What does a moral conservative have in common with the radical left, for instance - who believe in murdering babies and supporting perverted acts e.t.c. ? I want nothing to do with those types.
Muy bello mensaje. Gracias.
Beautiful! Thank you!
I read the comments and am pleased that so many have found something that has touched them in these words.
I'm four minutes in and wondering if it is worth the struggle to make out what is being said when the narration goes soft and the music overrides.
You have given me hope to carry on, I shall try again.
really a wonderful video. Thanks kosi to share it.
You are the moments you choose to experience.
I am gratefull to be ONE with universe. ❤❤❤🥰
Soooo so beautiful thankyou 😍 🙏💫💗
Kosi makes the highest quality educational videos - give thanks
Magnificent! Thanks!
Thank you once again for this.
Ahhhh. I really love this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video and for lovely voice. It looked as if it will take forever to get to the end of this video as i went so deep just by listening....question who am i put my mind to silence.....thank you once again....and god bless.....
Just beautiful. It touches one so deeply. Thank you.
This touches my soul🤍 please do more videos of like these!
Thank you ! love
She did provide the answer to the question: You are the Awareness Itself at 7:03 ... This post is further to Othalos Brooks message 1 week ago, while at the same time, kindly note that the answer to what is awareness can only be truly known/recognized through direct experience...
Just beautiful. I enjoyed this
Thanks for this vid very nice. It makes me remind my self of my true Self.
.... My eyes have opened, and now I can see my wings. You've reminded me I am fee, and I can fly about the endless sky without worry of who I am.
tat tvam asi, you have truely changed my life.
2 truly realize that...is ur freedom and bliss ♡
TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOL:
Cualquier pensamiento que hayas tenido sobre ti mismo, que sea algo positivo o negativo no es quien eres. Es sólo un pensamiento. La verdad de quien eres no puede ser "pensada", porque ella es la fuente de todos los pensamientos. No se puede definir o darle nombre a la verdad de quién eres. Palabras como alma, luz, Dios, verdad, ser, conciencia inteligencia universal o divinidad, aunque sean capaces de evocar el éxtasis de la verdad, son insuficientes como descripción de la inmensidad de quien eres realmente. Independientemente de cómo te identifiques: como un niño, un adolescente, una madre, un padre, una persona más adulta, una persona saludable, una persona enferma una persona que sufre o una persona iluminada - siempre, detrás de todo eso, está la verdad de ti mismo. No es ajena a ti. Está tan cerca que no puedes creer que eres tú. No existe un concepto para definir la verdad de quien eres, ignorante o iluminado, inútil o grandioso. La verdad de quien eres, está libre de todo eso. Ya eres libre, y todo lo que te impide lograr esa libertad es tu apego a alguna idea sobre quien eres. Este pensamiento no impide que seas la verdad de quien eres. Tú ya eres eso. Te separa del descubrimiento de quien eres realmente. Te invitamos a dejar que tu atención se sumerga en aquello que siempre ha estado ahí, esperando abiertamente por su propio auto-descubrimiento. ¿Quién eres, realmente? ¿Eres alguna imagen que aparece en tu mente? ¿Eres alguna sensación que aparece en tu cuerpo? ¿Eres tú alguna emoción que pasa por tu mente o tu cuerpo? ¿Eres algo que alguien dice que tú eres? ¿O eres la rebeldía contra algo que alguien ha dicho que eres? Estos son algunos de los muchos errores de identificación. Todas estas definiciones vienen y se van, nacen y después mueren. La verdad de lo que eres, no viene y se va. Ella está presente antes del nacimiento, durante toda la vida y después de la muerte. Descubrir la verdad acerca de quien eres, no solo es posible, es tu derecho de nacimiento. Cualquier pensamiento de que este descubrimiento no es para ti, que aún no es tiempo, que no eres digno, que no estás listo, que tú ya sabes quien eres, son sólo trucos de la mente. Es hora de investigar este pensamiento y ver qué validez realmente tiene. En esta investigación existe una apertura para que la conciencia inteligente que eres, finalmente se reconozca a sí misma. La pregunta más importante que puedes hacerte es: ¿Quién soy yo? De cierta forma, esta ha sido una pregunta implícita, hecha en cada etapa de tu vida. Toda actividad, sea individual o colectiva, es motivada en su raíz por una búsqueda de auto-definición. Normalmente, buscas una respuesta positiva a esta pregunta y huyes de una respuesta negativa. Cuando esta pregunta se vuelve explícita, el impulso y el poder de la pregunta orientan a la búsqueda de la verdadera respuesta, la cual está abierta, viva, y llena de una "comprensión" cada vez más profunda. Tú has experimentado tanto el éxito como el fracaso. Después de un cierto tiempo, tarde o temprano, te das cuenta que quien eres, por más que la definas, no es satisfactoria. A menos que esta pregunta haya sido 'verdaderamente respondida', - no sólo convencionalmente respondida - seguirás con el hambre de saber. Puesto que no importa cómo hayas sido definido por los otros, bien intencionado o no, y no importa cómo te hayas definido a ti mismo, ninguna definición puede traer certidumbre duradera. El momento en que reconozcas que ninguna respuesta jamás ha satisfecho esta pregunta, es crucial. A menudo se lo denomina como el momento de madurez espiritual, el momento de madurez de la vida espiritual. En este punto, tú puedes concientemente investigar quien realmente eres. En su poder y simplicidad, la pregunta "¿Quién soy yo?" lanza la mente de nuevo a la raíz de la identificación personal, la hipótesis básica: yo soy alguien. En vez de automáticamente aceptar esta suposición como la verdad, puedes investigar más. No es difícil ver que este pensamiento inicial de "yo soy alguien", conduce a todo tipo de estrategias: ser un mejor 'alguien', un 'alguien' más protegido, un 'alguien' con más placer, más confortable, más realizado. Pero cuando este pensamiento muy básico es cuestionado, la mente encuentra el yo el cual estaba separado de lo que ella ha estado buscando. Esto se llama auto-investigación. La pregunta más básica: "¿Quién soy yo?", es la que más se pasa por alto. Pasamos la mayor parte de nuestros días diciéndonos a nosotros mismos o a los demás que somos alguien importante, alguien sin importancia, alguien grande, alguien pequeño, alguien joven o alguien viejo, sin nunca realmente cuestionar esta suposición tan básica: ¿Quién eres, realmente? ¿Cómo sabes que esto es quien eres en realidad? ¿Es verdad? ¿Realmente? Cuando llevas tu atención hacia esta pregunta: "¿Quién soy yo?" tal vez veas una entidad la cual tiene tu cara y tu cuerpo. ¿Pero quién es conciente de esa entidad? ¿Eres el objeto, o eres la percepción del objeto? El objeto viene y se va. El padre, el niño, el amante, el abandonado, el iluminado, el victorioso, o el derrotado. Todas estas identificaciones vienen y se van. La percepción de estas identificaciones está siempre presente. La errónea identificación de uno mismo como algún objeto dentro de la percepción lleva al extremo placer o extremo dolor y a ciclos interminables de sufrimiento. Cuando estás dispuesto a terminar con la errónea identificación y descubrir directa y completamente que tú eres la propia conciencia y no estas definiciones efímeras, la búsqueda de ti mismo en los pensamientos, termina. Cuando la pregunta "¿quién?" es perseguida de forma inocente, pura, en todo el camino de vuelta a su origen, surge un gran y asombroso descubrimiento: ¡no hay ninguna entidad allí! Apenas el indefinible e ilimitado reconocimiento de ti mismo como inseparable de cualquier otra cosa. Eres libre Estás completo, eres infinito. No hay final para ti, no hay límite. Cualquier idea sobre ti mismo que aparezca desaparecerá de vuelta en ti. Eres la percepción, y la percepción es la conciencia Deja que todas las auto-definiciones mueran en este momento. Déjalas ir, y ve lo que permanece. Ve lo que nunca ha nacido y lo que no muere. Siente el alivio de dejar caer la carga de definirte a ti mismo. Experimenta la verdad de la irrealidad de la carga. Experimenta la alegría que está aquí. Descansa en la infinita paz de tu verdadera naturaleza antes de que cualquier pensamiento del Yo surja.
Obrigado ❤
This is profound. Thank you.
Advice to all with any disabilities~
Listen, feel, remember, and recognize, in your consciousness that you are here and now you must be aware of who you really are. Your soul has always been. For the sake of all humanity we need reprogramming to the simplicity of the I AM to remember exactly how powerful and wise WE ARE. For the post , i feel i need to share just one life changing moment that has grown on me to really dive back into who I AM.
Oct, 7, 2017 my soul was surely graced and cared over. When this body and mind was ready to end it all. And it doesn't shame me to admit that I got weak to think that way. BUT, EVERYTHING DOES HAPPEN FOR A REASON. Diagnosed Diffuse Axanol Injury Grade III.
Seven years in, miracles for my stillness and healing for my action to BE again.
When this song keeps getting thrown into my playlist for the day and I've listen to it multiple times.
I AM listening 🧘♀️
"...and now you must be aware of who you really are",
So fucking what if I know who I am ? How does this make me happier ? My circumstances in this world remain the same whether I accept that as fact or not. What's the big deal then ? If we're the equivalent of Jesus why can't / don't we ever see anyone using those same powers and abilities to do the miracles He did ? Has any of you seen anyone turn water into wine ? Or feed a large crowd with just a few loaves and fish ? We never do.
Ironically, I often hesitate to share posts that contain an inherent religious message because of the contradicting religious attachment that is imbedded in the message. As it is impossible to believe in nothing, it is also impossible to believe in anything without ego attachment.
Just the same, I am uplifted by this video, as it comes close to putting into words what I came to understand as the most significant actuality one can discover as the underlying principles of sub-particle physics.
And the deeper irony lies in the fact that I came to this realization when in pursuit of the fundamental principles of sub-particle physics as a way to find some solid ground in place of religion. Something that did not demand an act of "faith". In attempting to understand "What do we actually know, and what does it tell us about what we are?" I came full circle to seeing the illusory nature of reality as reality itself.
That realization creates the most profound knowing of humility due to the very nature of what is understood, because it becomes impossible not to see that what we imagine ourselves to be is an absolute illusion, and the truth of what we are is the rose within the seed, something beyond what we can to form an attachment to using any means that we can find or see. Because the centering point of reality can not be seen or defined within the realm of the possibilities of human consciousness.
Ah, but then there is the unconscious mind. Which has always known.
Blessed video. Thank you for posting.
For me this video is just about a choice I have. The choice to no longer buy into the deceptions of my own mind, to more and more recognise myself in this peaceful awareness that IS me and be free of suffering. No matter how I feel or whatever shit happens. Well, with that freedom simply being MY choice.... what could possibly be wrong with that?
True that. Well said!
Very beautiful, I'm sharing this on Facebook.
Beautiful narrator

Gracias!!!!
Agradezco a estas palabras en las que siempre encuentro refugio y sentido a mi existencia.
Gracias por crear este hermoso video y transcripción.
I love IT
Thank you 🙏
The question is who am I?. The answer is being.
so beautifull
Beautiful
Me parece muy bueno . Gracias !!
I can translate it in Rumi poetry. I'm not just a drop in the ocean, l m entire ocean in a drop. Rumi and Romana and you speak the same beautiful language .
It is already translated into over 40 different languages on dotsub.com : )
Do you have a German Version Link for me 🙏🏻😊? Ich can't find it 😔
Change Subtitles to German.

Vielen lieben Dank Chris, thanks a lot Chris :)
Perfect. After this all other searching only serves to waste Time and allow the Me to solidify it's unreality, to pretend that it cannot be this simple.
Kosi como hago para verlo en español? Muchas gracias
Hola!.alguna vez pude ver este video subtitulado y ahora no puedo.podrias ayudarme a poder hacerlo?.gracias
Se perdió, lo busque por años
Y me compré el libro
Muy alentador !!!
it's all much simpler than anyone realizes..."be nothing" and simply stay there. kosi is beautiful, of course and maybe there is a need to explain the inexplicable with the music, imagery and words she uses...maybe it will bring some out of the unnecessary suffering we place on ourselves by defending the temporary and contrived personality. the simplicity is: be quiet and let the mind die an idiot's death.
It's so beautiful
The voice is making me feel sleepy.. calm and tranquil
VERY STRONG, THANK YOU
Thanks for your words, the video and music. I really like them.
It would be nice to add all the subtitles from dotsub to this video... because dotsub doesn't work on my mobile telephone and I don't know if it works in other mobile device.
Beautiful... The noise like from a scratched vinyl which is coming with the voice (more in the second half) is there for everybody or its just me who noticed this?
phenomenal
beautiful 💕🦋✨
Gorgeous vid. Nice work Kosi.
Beautiful!! Merci :)
Thanks for posting such a good questioning process into the unknown of oneself. What in us is asking the questions? Could it be that the Creator of all life, It-She-He, seeded the compulsion in humans to unlock the, always in our time, search for the truth of itself? The eternal wonder is, after we have had the spiritual transformation into true humanbeing, can we send back a facsimile response that it may wonder at? The glory of life is always before us. Can we become, perhaps, each day a little, the future glory of Life in it's finest, highest point?
I would like to see Gangaji become as popular as Mooji and Papaji.
wonderful
This is still a favorite. Thank you so much. Is there any way to get it without ads? It is so powerful and needed now more than ever. Infinite Blessings and thanks!

thank you, it's beautiful :)
I see what this video is directing me to. That I am pure awareness. However even if I tried to live it as that, what difference does it make to the way I feel about the world and my problems ? This revelation of me being God or the Universe doesn't alter much of what I'm already "aware" of - that my life is not as I want it to be. And that I can't do anything about it. It's not a satisfying solution. Yet I'm meant to be joyful at this new found cosmic knowledge ? .
The best time of my day is when I go to sleep at night. Then I'm not aware of anything. THAT, to me is bliss. LACK of awareness, not RAISED awareness. And I do have peace. At least temporarily, until I wake up the next day. 😑😔😮💨
