Mantram-16.


Discussion-2. "He  am  I,  the  Purusha  within  Thee" ...



The  idea  that  the  Spirit  is  not  to  be  seen  or  felt  or  understood  but  is  to  be  experienced  in  an  intimate  subjective  experience  ( anubhavam ),  is  clearly  brought  out  by  the  declaration :

"He  am  I,  the  Purusha  within  Thee,"

This  is  not  a  declaratin  made  by  the  Self-Realised  Saint  at  the  moment  of  his  realisation,
but  later  on,  when  he  wakes  up  again  to  the  world  of  the  'mind-and-intellect.

He  cries  that  he  is  not  a  body-conditioned  individual  that  he  thought  he  was,  in  his  ignorance,  but  now  that  the  wisdom  has  dawned,  he  realises  that  he  is  nothing  but  the  Pure  Awareness,  :

"The  One  that  resides  in  Him,  the  PURUSHA."
