It is the question of each individual of anima rationalis(ashraful makhloqat) that all the organs of my body belong to me and are said as my heart, my hands, my nose and my eyes etc. but this ‘my’ pronoun is governed by ‘I’ which is the replacement of any proper noun. So superficially the reality of ‘I’ was very difficult to understand since the origin of man.
The question of ‘I’ can be easily solved if we go through the Holy Book of Entire Knowledge, the collection of entire Revelation of mysteries of the universe told by Allah to Hz. Mohammad Mustafa (S.W.), Qur’an, which is the solution of all the problems and Islam is the simplest and the easiest religion consisting of the extract of all the religions of humanity.
Mirza Ghalib says:
Na tha kochh to khuda tha,
Kochh na hota to khuda hota,
Duboya mujh ko hone ne,
Na hota main toh kya hota.
“Main (I)” is not a substance made of matter but is only the power of life created by Almighty God with some specific divine purpose.
Tennyson says in his “The Two Voices”-
” That God, which ever lives lones,
One God, one law, one element,
And one for all divine events,
To which the whole creation moves.”
The Almighty God created me and ‘I’ is that abstract element which is divine and the Almighty Allah has given it the power of rationalization to discriminate good & evil & the power to follow either the path of righteousness or of evils as commanded in Qur’an. So ‘I’ is free to do good or evil through the body made of material but there are rewards for goodness & punishment for the evils in the real another world of life.
So ‘I’ is the divine abstract, hidden spirit or soul or power of life in the body. When this hidden abstract or soul leaves the body, the death approaches & no dead says -‘I’, where this ‘I’ has gone. This ‘I’ get transferred from this body to another world for the real life depending upon the fate of the deeds performed in this world.
[ad#468]
Every living being longs always to be happy untainted by sorrow; and everyone has the greatest love for himself, which is solely due to the fact that happiness is his real nature. Hence, in order to realize that inherent and untainted happiness, which indeed he daily experiences when the mind is subdued in deep sleep, it is essential that he should know himself. For obtaining such knowledge the enquiry, ‘Who am I?’ in quest of the Self is the means par excellence.
