Who are you?

Who lives in you at every moment? Who acts for you on every occasion?

Who answers when rage takes over? Who trembles when fear grabs you? Who shouts with excitement?

Who speaks, falls silent or contradicts itself? Who desires, runs away or gets hooked? Who ignores, knows or gets tangled up?

You are so many people, and yet you are none of them.

Can you discern them?

You are so many yous, and yet you are only one.

Can all of them discern you?
