Who am I?

Let's start with a story told by Deepak Chopra. 

"When I was 17, just as I had joined medical school, I was in the theatre one day. I left to go to the washrooms, when I came back someone was sitting on my seat. I told them that was my seat, they asked how I knew it belonged to me. And I showed them the sweater I had left on the seat. He laughed and asked, If you left a sweater at Taj Mahal, would Taj Mahal be yours?"

We love to own what has been provided for us to experience. We love to also make our experiences our identity, but are we those things? 

Am I my job, name, body, mind or religion? Am I my emotions?

Who really are you? 

Is my body mine? Is my house, religion, country, tribe mine? Do I really own any of these things or are they just experiences am transiting through? Is the pain or joy I experience mine? 

And who is the I in My above? Whom am I?

This article will not explore answers to the question. It is to elicit internal debate on whom we are and whom we are not. The ultimate identity question for the being!
