You are not your mind
You are not your body
You are not your skin
You are not your cells
You are not your family
You are not your friends
You are not your relationships
You are not your name
You are not your surname
You are not your clan
You are not your religion
You are not your education
You are not your career
You are not your degree
You are not your titles
You are not your social conditioning
You are not your country
You are not your successes
You are not your failures
You are not your home
You are not your car
You are not your clothing
You are not your bank balance
You are not your assets
You are not your liabilities
These things are external
They do not belong to you
They do not define you
They are incapable of defining your worth
How is it that something external of you determines your worth?
How is it that something external of you measures the level of respect given to you?
Underneath all of this, who are you?
If all these things were taken away from you, who would you really be?
Again I ask
Who are you?
What is inside of you?
What burns within you?
What shines within you?
What is within you that cannot be found outside of you?
You are a part of the Divine
Now
Tell me
WHO ARE YOU?
