The human mind as conditioned can’t comprehend beyond the pair of opposites. When the mind dies, is when you see yourself as you ARE!
The knowledge of “I” can not be shared or grasped by the instruments of senses, intellect, ego and mind (thoughts). For as long as they dictate terms (they control the entire creation) we are unaware of our identity.
Perhaps the only indicative words to comprehend the ‘I’ can be-
I am I. The “background” on which all pairs of opposites originate, sustain and destroyed. The ‘I’ can get identified with a wave of the river (energy) or to be what it IS.
When the ‘I’ gets identified with the wave of the river, it becomes that, i.e. the wave, it flows, ever changing… yet there is some thing static in the observer, which wants to hold on to things. The intent is right only the direction inappropriate.
Can you hold water in palms? Rather than trying in vain a whole life-time to hold some thing whose nature is movement . Why don’t you try to know the observer in you?
Who is the observer? What is the observer? Where is the observer? What is the observer looking for? Can the observer get satisfied with any object?
Remember any thing other that you or outside you is an object for you! (any thing of the matter, family, friends, relations, desires, thoughts, ideals, work, ethics, philosophy, intelligence, beauty, religion- some are more subtle then others).

Did Babaji exist prior to Autobiography of a Yogi
Its just like asking if the Brahman ( the real Self ) existed prior to publishing of Autobiography of a Yogi. Yes, prior to publishing of the this great book by Sri Paramhansa Yoganandaji, Babaji was know to a selected few by different names. But after the book, we have given Babaji an uniformity so to say, in terms of his name and form. With this uniformity (of form and name ) Babaji appears initially to the seeker, but when the seeker is ready for deeper levels initiation, Babaji comes to him or her in different forms.
In fact many chapters of Autobiography of a Yogi are actually written by Mahavatar Babaji himself. Paramhansa Yoganandaji was so much attuned to Babaji, that Mataji choice Yoganandji to be the instrument f Babaji's message to the masses who are seeking fulfillment and end of misery. So, the next time you see a copy of the book, and see Yogannadaji's signature on it, know for certain that it is the signature of Babaji itself. Feel it .... deep with in your spine.
Many a times the seeker will not know at that moment that the glorious person (form) he is interacting with is Babaji. However, their are certain signs and hints which the great guru drops during such experiences. The intellectual memory of these subtle signs helps the ego to recognize the presence of the Great Master.
The real Self was, is and will always be. So is the beings in illusion ( they were, are and will be). As long as this cosmic drama will continue so long will Babaji and Mataji guide seekers to know who they really are.
WHO IS MATAJI?
Mataji represents the the prakriti aspect of the reality. Its the primal energy (Shakti) which is the cause of all the creation and actions /kriyas. Every inch of this creation belongs to Shakti. Shakti creates all forms and names and yet she is eternally formless and nameless.
Dive deep within yourself and be the pure feeling it self. In that state call the mother with all that you have. She will come, she will respond, after all who else can respond faster to a child's honest cry that the Mother herself.
Channelize the deep sense of love and identification with your earthy mother to the Divine Mother. Give her all your attachments, your habits, your like and dislikes, your body, mind and even your breath. For its from her that you have got all these gunas (qualities) to play a particular role and in her will all these disappear. In fact, the Divine Mother promises to reveal all mysteries of this universe to the one who surrenders ever thing to her.
Babaji and Mataji(Divine Mother) are unseparable, almost like two sides of one coin. Whereever you find Babaji, be assured that Mataji is near too. And when ever you find Mataji, be assured that Babaji is near by too.
