        Question. If you say I am Brahma ", can you create the world and do the impossible as  Brahma does? 

 Hamsa. You have not understood the meaning of  Aham brahmasmi = I am Brahma. That is the statement of Upanishad, not a statement of a realised person. No realised person will say so. The sage realises within himself in samadhi the highest metaphysical Truth, which is beyond words. If anyone says in words I am Brahma, it means he is either reading the text or has not realised yet.

     The word aham ( I am) does not mean the visible body or the mind or the ego. The Consciousness on which the ego, mind and the body subsist is Brahma and I AM THAT. That Brahma  always does only the impossible. Without that Brahma, you, the person asking the question, cannot ask the doubt, cannot breathe, cannot even exist. Your existence in life, in this human form, is an impossible event, which has become possible only because of Brahma. All that you and every one does is an impossible thing made possible by Brama only; so in essence, everything, including you and your denial of Brahma is all Brahma. Because your true nature is covered by pitch darkness called maya, you do not know it.
