Who You Are Is Not What You Do
Who You Are Is Not What You Do
Editor’s Note
In today’s world, people often define themselves by their professions—what they do rather than how they are. But a yogi functions differently. His actions are not his identity; they are just an effortless expression of his inner state. This piece explores how energy, rather than activity, defines a being, offering a deeper understanding of life beyond labels.
The Illusion of Identity
So many people around me—especially in Assam—are quite puzzled. They ask, “What do you do?” Because in their minds, what you do is who you are. You are a doctor, an engineer, a teacher, a shopkeeper—something. They have never really seen a yogi, except maybe in a calendar. So when I say, “I am a yogi,” they look at me as if I just declared I am an alien from another planet.
A yogi is not about what I do. It is about how I am. It is not about my activity; it is about the way my energies function. If you had a thousand kilowatts of energy within you, your body, your mind, your emotions would function in a completely different way. But if you have only twenty kilowatts, it is a very different experience.
Most people identify themselves with what they do because that is all they have known. Their entire lives, they have only functioned at one particular level of energy, so their actions have left an imprint on them. If you do something long enough, you start believing that is who you are. If a man sweeps the floor for 30 years, he thinks, “I am a sweeper.” No, no, no. That is just something you do. The moment you identify with your activity, you become limited by it.
From Ice Cube to Flowing Water
Your energies are like water. If you freeze it, you become an ice cube—rigid, stuck in one shape. You can only fit into certain spaces. But if your energies are fluid, like flowing water, you can take the shape of whatever situation you are in. Activity will happen not as something you are “doing” but as something that drips effortlessly from you.
This is the difference between a yogi and someone who is stuck in their identity. A yogi does not define himself by what he does. If you make me cook today, I will cook. If you put me on a stage, I will speak. If you ask me to dig a pit, I will dig. But none of this is “who I am.” It is just what spills out of me in the moment.
The Goosebumps
Let’s say one day you are walking down the street, and suddenly you feel a chill down your spine—goosebumps! You look around, and nothing is there. But for a moment, your energies shifted, your perception changed, and your whole system responded. If you could consciously shift your energies like this whenever you wanted, wouldn’t life be phenomenal? Instead of being an ice cube, you would become a river—flowing, adapting, responding to life with absolute ease.
So do not get stuck in “what you do.” Instead, focus on how you are. If your energies shift, your activity will happen accordingly, not as an effort, but as a consequence of who you are. The real question is, are you willing to melt the ice and let yourself flow?
Common Questions People Ask Me
1. But if I don’t identify with what I do, how will society recognize me?
Society needs a name and a label to function—otherwise, the world would be chaotic. But the problem starts when you start believing the label yourself! You can be a doctor, an engineer, or a businessman for the world, but within yourself, you must know you are just life—limitless and ever-changing.
2. If my energy is constantly shifting, won’t I become inconsistent?
Not at all! When you function from a rigid identity, you become predictable and limited. But when you operate based on the needs of the moment, your response becomes far more intelligent. Life does not need consistency; it needs awareness.
3. What’s wrong with just being a professional and living a normal life?
Absolutely nothing! But the question is, do you want to live life, or just function mechanically? If you find fulfillment in what you do, wonderful! But if you feel stuck, maybe it’s time to explore what’s beyond your activity—your true nature.
4. How can I make my energies more fluid like water?
Simple—stop holding on to fixed ideas about yourself. Practices like yoga, meditation, and conscious living will naturally make you more flexible. Just like water flows freely, life will begin to happen through you effortlessly.
Final Thought
You are not what you do. You are far beyond that. Once you realize this, life ceases to be a struggle; it becomes an effortless dance. So, do you want to be an ice cube, or would you rather flow like a mighty river?
Beyond Professions, Beyond Presence
By Parth
Editor's Note
Parth is not just a physician, not merely a scientist, and not limited to being a mystic. He is a self-realized being who transcends labels and professions. His presence itself is an instrument of transformation. To define him by what he does is to miss the essence of who he is.
Unlike those who seek attention through elaborate structures and marketing, Parth has consciously chosen to keep Amrqh® understated. It is not a lack of capability but a deliberate act—to ensure that only those who are truly ready find their way. His journey is not about gathering numbers; it is about depth, about those willing to transcend limitations.
What follows is a powerful reflection on his approach—from medicine to consciousness, from healing the body to awakening the being.
Beyond Professions, Beyond Presence
When people look at me, they try to define me by what I do. Some call me a doctor. Some see me as a scientist. Some think of me as a mystic. But if they only see these roles, they will miss the whole point.
I don’t want people to see what I do. I want them to simply be in my presence. Because what happens in my presence cannot happen through action alone. Action has its place, but presence—presence is the true transformer.
For thousands of years, yogis have walked this land, appearing as physicians, healers, or even just silent beings. Some healed with their hands. Some healed with their presence. There was a time when I simply sat, and things shifted in people—not because of what I did, but because of what I was. Transformation does not happen through method alone. It happens when one is willing to dissolve into something beyond themselves.
I never sought followers. If you look at Amrqh®, you will not find grand promotions or aggressive marketing. Not because we don’t understand these strategies, but because we made a conscious choice. I have always wanted to keep the structure poor—because the more you decorate, the more drama you invite. And I have no interest in drama.
People come to me not because they saw an advertisement but because something in them is seeking. I do not chase them. They find their way when the time is right. Over the years, I have seen that not everyone is ready to break beyond their limitations. That is why we kept it subtle, working only with those who are truly willing.
If even one person comes, we work with them fully. If a hundred come, we do the same. It has never been about numbers; it has always been about intensity. When we first introduced Shoonya, it was one solid, intense program. But as more people came, we had to soften it, create multiple layers—because not everyone is ready to take the plunge.
But no one should be left behind. It is every human being’s right to have at least a taste of the beyond. That is why we created different levels of Shoonya—so that wherever they are in their journey, they can have an opening.
This path is not a one-day realization. There are seven hills to roll before one reaches the peak. And just as every journey needs fuel, every seeker needs medicine. Medicine is not just for the body—it is for the system, for the being. For those who are serious, who have set their sights on something beyond survival, I am here.
I can work as a doctor because I understand the mechanics of this body. I can work as a guide because I see the path ahead. Whether one needs healing at the physical level or is ready to break through the layers of consciousness—I am for them.
But for those who are only looking to survive, I have nothing to offer. And yet, how can I turn them away? I see myself in everyone. If I see myself in them, there is no question of denial. That is why we have kept this subtle. We do not chase, we do not call. But those who have ears will hear, those who have eyes will see.
Whoever is ready will come. And for them, I am here.
Q&A with Parth
Q: You have deliberately kept Amrqh® subtle, without aggressive marketing. Why?
Parth: Because it is not about reaching many—it is about reaching those who are ready. When something is marketed aggressively, it attracts curiosity, entertainment seekers, and those who are not committed. I am not looking for people to just "try" this. I am looking for those who are willing to break beyond themselves. When one is truly seeking, they will find their way.
Q: You speak of presence being more powerful than action. Can you explain?
Parth: Action is limited by effort and time. Presence is beyond both. A doctor may treat a patient with medicine, but a yogi in complete presence may dissolve the ailment at its root—without even touching them. The problem is, most people only recognize action because that is what they can see. Presence works at a level they cannot perceive, so they miss it.
Q: You say you are for those who are ready, but you also say you cannot deny anyone. How do you balance that?
Parth: If someone is only focused on survival, I have nothing to offer them because they are not looking for transformation. But at the same time, I cannot deny them, because I see myself in them. That is why we structured Amrqh® the way we did—so that those who are truly seeking can find their way naturally, and those who are not yet ready are not burdened with something they are not prepared for.
Q: You mention Shoonya having different levels now. Why was this change necessary?
Parth: Initially, Shoonya was one intense program. But as more people came, we realized that not everyone was prepared for that level of intensity. So, we structured it in layers—so that those who are ready can go all the way, while those who are just beginning can still have a taste. Everyone must have an opening, but not everyone can start at the peak.
Q: What is your ultimate vision?
Parth: To take people from medicine to consciousness. To create a space where healing is not just about fixing ailments but about dissolving the very identity that creates suffering. Amrqh® is not just a hospital—it is a transition point for those who wish to move from survival to true well-being. For those who are ready, I am here. For those who are not, I will wait.
Final Thoughts
Parth’s approach is rare in today’s world—where the pursuit of numbers often outweighs the pursuit of depth. His journey from medicine to consciousness is not about creating followers but about preparing individuals for true transformation.
For those who are ready, the door is always open. But it is not a door that will be forced upon anyone. It is for those who recognize it, for those who are willing to walk through.
Whoever has ears will hear. Whoever has eyes will see.
And for them—Parth is here.
