The False Illusion of 'I': Transcending the Observer and Experiencer Throughout human history, thinkers, mystics, and philosophers have pondered the nature of selfhood. Who or what is the "I" that observes, thinks, and experiences? Is there truly an observer distinct from the observed, or is this duality a mere illusion?

However, if we examine this assumption closely, we see that the observer is not separate—it arises in the v...

Life is incredibly precious, and each moment is a gift from God. We only need to approach it with the curiosity of a child, unwrapping it with an open heart to discover what lies within. As we embrace our childlike nature, the external knowledge we have accumulated throughout our lives begins to fade away, and we start accepting the existence of God without questioning the teachings we've received thus far. We have been taught that we belong to a specific religion and should not follow the teachings of other religions. Hindus are told not to enter a Muslim mosque or Jain temple, while Muslims are discouraged from praying in Hindu temples or Christian churches.
