This is an important
question, the answer to which will help us have better knowledge of ourselves.
This question engaged the attention of ancient Indian seers and sages. They experimented
with themselves their sensory and mental apparatus and after a disciplined
quest they found out that there is a divine element in human beings, which is
the Mind of the mind, Eye of the eyes, Ear ot the ears and speech of the
speech. It is this divinity which constitutes the real ‘I’ and the eternal
element in our personality. This divinity survives physical dissolution of the
body. This divinity remains latent in us as long as we identify ourselves with
our body-mind and the sensory system. The goal of life, according to the
scriptures and the great ones, is to manifest this hidden divinity.
