Question: In Self-Inquiry, to whom is the question "Who am I?" addressed?

Bhagavan: To whomever or whatever you are, is given the way for finding out your true identity. The ego-self, when it feels the necessity to know its own origin; or is, for whatever reason, impelled to rise above itself, takes the suggestion and goes deeper; and there, discovers the true source and reality of itself. So, the ego-self of first, in beginning to know itself, ends in perceiving its Self.

It is therefore the ego, or body-mind, that begins the quest.

Glossary of Sanskrit and related terms borrowed from various sources (in progress)

Aham-vritti...'I'-thought
Ahamkara...Ego
Ajapa...Unspoken and involuntary repetition of the name of God.
Yuga...Age... See "Ramana Maharshi" by Osborne
