I am (feat. Rupert Spira)

Happiness is the knowing of our own being as it is

That's what happiness is the knowing of being

The common name for the knowing of being is

I

Why do I say with such confidence

That happiness is the purpose of life

You know that because of your own experience

Because when you are happy

There is no desire to achieve anything else

And that experience is available to everybody

Irrespective of their intelligence, their health, their wealth,

Their creed, their nationality, their age

It is totally available twenty four seven to everyone

It's available equally to everybody because

Everybody knows the experience I

Happiness is the knowing of our own being as it is

That's what happiness is the knowing of being

The common name for the knowing of being is

We obscure the true nature of I

And therefore we obscure happiness

That is why the separate self is always unhappy

Always seeking happiness

Because the separate self is a limitation

On our essential nature of pure being

It's the I am the body as opposed to

I am

So that is why the path of knowledge

And the path of devotion are the same path

The one who seeks god

The one who seeks happiness

The one who practices self inquiry

The one who prays

They are all seeking the same thing

Is the loss of its separate identity

It's not possible for the separate self to seek anything else

Every desire

The separate self has

Is only the desire

To cease being separate

Happiness is the knowing of our own being as it is

That's what happiness is the knowing of being

The common name for the knowing of being is

I
