42. Whatever you
try to become that is not you, before even the words 'I am' were
said, that is you. Just look at this mad
pursuit that you have been indulging in or have been conditioned to
indulge in by society: 'I am so-and-so', 'I must become this' or 'I
must become that'- ambition, status, name, fame and what not! It's
quite unnatural; you are trying to become what you are not. Even
before you could say or feel the 'I am', you are! This feeling 'I
am' has appeared on your True state and is dependent, transient and
false. The identification of the 'I am' with the body has completely
tricked you and now you are trapped. Understand all this and get out
of it.
