“Who is this personal self?”

You simply have to ask yourself:

Who is this personal self?
Where did it come from?
How did it arise?
How did it get a hold of me and make me believe I’m human?
That makes me feel I was born, and I have to die?
What is this personal self?
Where did it come from?

And as you follow the personal self, the I-thought,
you’ll begin to see it never existed.
It was never born.
It is absolute nothingness.
And you’ll become radiantly happy, full of love, full of peace.
