How can I know if it’s my inner self speaking and not my ego when I am meditating?
#meditation
Anything that speaks is your ego.
It can be a messed up and bruised ego sometimes.
It can be a cheerful and decisive ego sometimes.
#meditation
Nevertheless, it is ego all the time.
The inner self or the AntarAtma as we call it in the Hindu scriptures does not participate in the chatter.
It is a silent smiling witness to all the chatter.

Sometimes, in your meditation, you may catch yourself smiling at all the chaos of your mind. That is a glimpse of the inner self.

If your objective is to discover clarity in your mundane life by meditation, it happens when the thoughts are settled and when the mind is quite free from agitations. But this is still a settled ego, and not the inner self.

You cannot miss the inner self when you are aware of it. It uproots you for good!
