how can one know who he is?

Answer 1

God! If yes then ask our soul because it is the closest thing that I know that can confirm !!
how to ask the soul ? just look into our heart. To reach the heart go in along with our breath.

Answer 2

the question is so very vast and complicated and yet so simple at the same time. you have to understand that who you are is actually who you choose to be... infact we are all very similar people but it is the decsions we make that define us.. all humans have all the same emotions but yet we are all different it is beacause we choose what we become ... remember it is very hard to become a permenent one thing or one mind ... to to have a set of fixed principles and values almost no one does that we all frequently change our views and judge various different situations seperatley and go by different thoughts everyday ....................but if you want to know whether you are kind person or wether your are a repulsive person or a generous one............... know that there is no definate answer because you are all of them we all have these qualities in us it is just the ones we decide to show that dtermine us


for eg one day you are kind because you choose to be but another day your are harsh but again it is because you choose to be harsh ......... now a question arises are you a harsh person or are you a kind person there is no answer you are both ....but you seperate one emotion from the other whenever you choose too change......... remember you, me and the entire human race are all the same.......... but people tend to call you a nice person when you are nice more often then you are harsh similarly when somone mean comes along everyone says hes mean....does that mean he is not nice??no it doesnt all it means iss that he is more often meaner than he is nice and so people call him a mean person similarly is the case for anyone....................... you are who u choose to become now whether that is a nice person a thought ful person a smart person a harsh person a friendly person .....well you see that is all really up to you ..................who you are you decide and if you cant well then your just like every other person on this planet who may change when ever he/she wants to and that my friend is what all of us really are ...............human beings............... so dont stress your self ........one moment your ambitous a bussiness man or somthing .... six years later you r a monk.............. whatever makes you happy at that at that precise time ... u decide

Answer 3

that has been a long quest for every individual who believes they can find a physical answer somewhere. in fact you must come to terms with your self and find peace, not inner peace but something relaxing truly peaceful, some people it is a scenery, others it is in music or poetry, not always it is in art. you cannot explain what it is but you will know when you have found it.than you can find who you are and even sometimes even you goal in life may alter, and you can find happens in what you do, but you have to take the time to enjoy every aspect of life and notice the little things.

Answer 4

One can only know himself as the Knower
The knower can know everything except himself
To know oneself look deep into the mirror of life

Answer 5

From this reality the Q would be more like WHEN; because obviously we don't know yet; or maybe we do know but cannot remember...Something like universal Alzheimer...lol

What if we already know and remember but we don't want to or cannot deal with that from this reality; so we block it out, we prioritize more important things to deal with now...

Or maybe we're nothing yet and we are here building ourselves and we're not complete yet so we have not come to the point to finally name it; then when we're done here, we'll know what or who we are.....

Or maybe....

Answer 6

Listen to the quiet prompting of your heart. this is the spirit of God urging you to awake to you unity with God in unconditional love within your heart. "God dwells within you as you". Seek ye first the kingdom of God & all else will be added unto you. The kingdom of God is within you. See syda.org/theguru. and read "as a man thinketh" by James Allen and "The Impersonal Life" by Joseph Brenner. Be alert, "when the student is ready, the teacher(Guru) will appear" and the teacher may not be what you expect.

Answer 7

Knowing oneself is THE best knowledge that we can gain in this world. Because this is the only knowledge that will enable us to LIFE successfully.
Before knowing oneself one thing we must know is that we can never know oneself FULL. About ourselves there is something that only others know, something that only we know, something that only God knows, something that others and we know and God knows.
What we really need to understand know about ourselves to know our weaknesses and strength and analyse ourselves constantly with help of our friends.
Ask your friends to write and give about your positive and negative qualities. I have those papers still with me i did this exercises in my 6th std onwards constantly i see some of my good and bad qualities repeatedly and i have tried to change my negative points, some i have really changed.
Analysing this way oneself will lead us to discover ourselves more deeply,discover our GOAL in life, and will surely lead us to achieve great things in life and meaningful and useful life for ourselves and others.
I really feel happy to answer this question and if you wish i will be happy to give you some more guidelines also (if you can )i wish to get a reply.THANK YOU.
