What is your real identity?

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

You accept a concept and stop at it. Thus, your spiritual progress stagnates at the conceptual level. You indicated your identity at various stages of life by such concepts as "a child", "a boy", "a youth", "a middle-aged man" etc. But which conceptual identity of yours remained faithful to you? All identities, in the course of time, proved illusory. Even the very principle behind the identities, that is the sense of your beingness, will prove illusory. Since it has appeared, it has to disappear; therefore, it is temporary and time-bound. But the knower of the beingness is the eternal Absolute.

Whatever experiences you undergo is imperfect. Nevertheless, you will continue some spiritual practice, because the mind will not allow you to be quiet.

For the purpose of acquiring knowledge and to know Brahman, you meditate on something. But what is your identity as a meditator? You are neither the meditation nor the object of meditation. Whatever it may be, You, which is apart from meditation and its object, are the Perfect, the Totality, the Eternal-Absolute.
