who am i ?

LOL, who am i , this has to be the most puzzling question mankind has ever known.
 In fact i always thought i knew my self better than anything else in the loka,  in reality i know zilch.
 I can tell you what i do for a living , what makes me happy ,can give you my identity but by no means  can i find the answer to the question  " who am i? ".
 I have asked myself this inumerous times and this got me thinking. The fact that usage of the word " I "  is so often in my day yet when i sat down to define it ,it seems impossible.

 What do i mean when i say the word " i ".Well if it defines somebody/something then it definately has to be a physical entity. Then i went deeper, “I” usually refers to someone/something  inside my skin, but it cannot be located the way the brain, liver, and heart can be located,“I” has no definite region of activity in the brain. When an ache dominates my sensations, “I” is in the ache. When i remember my loved ones, “I” is in the heart. In so-called out-of-body experiences,“I” extends beyond this envelope of skin and bones. So assuming that “I” is inside my body is just an assumption, not provable as fact.

So who am i ? i feel i am a constantly changing entitiy , an entitiy that is totally dependent on the changing cosmos, i exist only because of my relationship with the loka. I feel, understand , smell , hear only because of the existance of something much bigger. The word "i" i think is a construction of mind to help me understand my bearings, just like how GPS helps us know our exact location which is notihng but an imaginary grid of lattitudes and longitidues to help us understand where we are physically.
In reality “I” is a state of being vaster than the loka.It is an abysmal adventure.
