We are often mentioning about the Self, however when we look for this “self” that we have cherishing and protecting, we can’t even find it. This self is shifty and ungraspable.
For example:
- You go to the edge of a high cliff, in your fear you would think, “I will fall”, we are referring to our body as self.
- When we say “I’m tired”, the self is equated with physical or emotional feelings.
