My Spiritual Friend Udai garu has given below explanation regarding the False 'I'
When you say "I feel" or even the "I feeling", whose language is it?
Suppose there is a sound, it has a source. if there is a cry, it has a source. if you want to find out who is crying, what would you do ? see the source of the cry.
similarly, these feelings "i feel sad", "I feel good", "i like this", "I do not like this" ... all these feelings, who is saying it. look within. This is not the language of the body. The body simply passes a sensation. This is not the language of consciousness which is sheer witness. So who is saying this? Just a thought.
So the thought has come and is gone, who is holding onto it ? Thus, Just Remain,coz its the thought that is saying it is uncomfortable... or it has a certain feeling ... you are obviously not the thought. so just remain unidentified with mind and mental feelings. including the feeling "i am quiet"
that is to just remain.
A thought arises "this happened". its a simple report of what happened.
Then next thought "i do not like it"
next thought "this is really bad"
next "i think my fate is bad"
i have to go to an astrologer"
This is how the thought stream flows. The first thought is a simple report of happening as is. The other thoughts are all "I" thoughts. They are all centered upon an illusory "I". The other thoughts have no link between them. The first thought came, gone. Second came, gone. third came, gone. A series of static thoughts. They create an illusion of a continuous "I"... really there are just a series of frames ... a series of thoughts creating an illusion of a continuous "I". like a series of still pictures creating the illusion of motion.
Really no one is there who is sad, bad, unhappy etc. These are coz we get into a flow and imagine a continuous "I" spanning all these thoughts. When we inquire who is this "I" there is none ... mere stream of thoughts ... and there being none ... who is sad, who is happy ? who is there in the first place? A vacant house !
