When you speak of my family , my son , my daughter , my husband , my wife , you are identifying yourself with the family atmosphere. When you speak of my community , I am from Brahmana community , Kshatriya community , you are identifying yourself with a group of people of a particular category. I belong to Uttar Pradesh, I belong to Gujarat - if you say like that, you are identifying yourself with a larger location of human beings. I am an Indian, I am a British, I am an American when you say that, you are expanding your concept of selfhood to a larger area geographically. All these are selves.
Language is the characteristic of the attachment of self to particular cultural patterns.
These are some of the various forms in which the Self finds itself cosily, and seems to be attracting everything everywhere. It is the Self that is attracting the Self in different connotations, in various areas of application. Here we are placing ourselves in a rather dangerous zone. We are habituated again and again to think that the Self cannot be anywhere else than inside us. I am going tomorrow to Gujarat.
