This technique is an ‘all the time’ meditation. No matter what you are experiencing at the moment, your awareness can be turned inward by the simple query, Who is the one experiencing this? When you are eating, working, moving your body, ask yourself, Who is doing this? Whenever you face a situation, ask, Who is facing this? When experiencing an overwhelming emotion, ask yourself, Who is this person who is feeling happy? Who is getting angry? Who am I who is feeling this fear? When in meditation, enquire, Am I this body sitting in meditation? Am I this mind which is wandering? Am I these emotions that rise and fall every moment? If I am not all these, then who am I?
Understand, this question is not meant to be answered! Don’t try to answer this question intellectually. When the question arises in you, just see where it leads, without having any ideas about the answer. Just be blank for a moment. You will see, the moment you ask this question without trying to answer it, automatically your outward-flowing awareness takes a U-turn and returns to you, to your center. Your question is answered wordlessly. When you practice this technique continuously, your awareness becomes deeply rooted inside you. No matter what you are thinking, feeling, doing, you remain the seer, the witness, the unchanging Consciousness.
