" ' I ' is the real existence and substratum of all."----Sri Sri Babathakur

Swasamvedya Swanubhavadeva Sri Sri Babathakur who is a Tattvabetta( a very very rare incarnation among many incarnations of The Lord, through which He tells about the true knowledge, the reality as it is; the science of the entire creation, as it is; to the monads for their complete upliftment) tells that the whole creation is nothing but becoming of the Absolute Being the Absolute Reality on, for, by, to, from, with, in, and beyond beyond... Itself/ Himself only for sake of joy of the Absolute Being. This ever present Absolute Being, is referred to in the Vedic philosophy as the Brahman, the Atman, the Bhuma. This is the ultimate substratum for the entire creation, as it is. Thus He says the Bhuma is ever present in the entire creation as eternal substratum for the creation but the creation or a part of it is nowhere in the Bhuma, tattvata i.e. in Reality, as the creation is a totally illusory one. It becomes apparent only through mind.
This Bhuma, this Brahman, this Atman is represented by 'I' in English because He says 'I' symptomatize the Bhuma, the Absolute. The monads, the innumerable becoming s are referred to by 'i' for the convenience of understanding.
Sri Sri Babathakur points out that it is not possible for anyone to make even a single sentence about oneself without using I. He also says that each and every incarnation of God had to use I (its equivalent in the language He used). As such, it is true that at the root of all small 'i' the capital 'I' is ever present as the substratum.
