When confronted with the question “Who are you?” individuals often respond with a litany of details such as their name, surname, nationality, religion, community, caste and category (in India), clan, family, and a myriad of socioeconomic identifiers like wealth, class, majority/minority status, profession, and its associated status.

However, it’s worth pondering whether these external labels truly encapsulate a person’s essence. These socioeconomic classifications are assigned by external entities and are either forcefully or strategically ingrained by certain ruling classes over the course of societal evolution.

Moreover, from the moment of birth, children are entangled in this intricate web of identities and affiliations, assigned without their consent. Throughout their lives, individuals are compelled to embrace and defend these identities, and the weight of these affiliations is so deeply rooted that some may even be willing to sacrifice their own lives or take the lives of others to protect these fictitious identities. Isn’t this a cause for concern?

All of these emerge as products of a societal framework that is imposed, politicized, and commercialized—essentially serving as both artistic and commercial means of personal identification. Importantly, these labels can never fully represent one’s true identity. In light of these considerations, it becomes imperative to reflect on the authentic essence of the Self. One must explore what constitutes the genuine identification of an individual.

One must explore Self, scientifically, naturally – fundamentally. Delving into these realms prompts the crucial question: “Who am I” at the core? The TRUTH of Self must be unveiled.
