The “I” as the anya (The other) & the Mahabhaava of “I-I”
As soon as sleep state ends, the “I” surfaces bringing with it a world of thoughts and emotions. Pursuits, goals, ambitions, disappointments, failures and many more results of the doing ‘I’.
Also brings it with the ideas of separation and thus claims itself subtly to be different. Hence ‘I’ is the birth of the ego that creates the feeling of anaya ( the other)
The self is always quenched and satiated with itself as everyone else and nothing else can remain apart from it. This deep satiety of beingness is the mahabhava of the “I-I” that Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi always referred to as the self.
