There is a difference between Saying I am There is a difference between saying, I am Sanjay gora and my name is Sanjay Gora. In former, you identify self as Sanjay Gora, in latter you identify body with Sanjay Gora and identify soul as different.
Everything in a dark room can be seen by a flashlight. But battery in the flashlight cannot be seen by the same light because battery is the source. Similarly everything in the world can be understood by the intellect but not the concept of soul, which is the source of the intellect.
If someone says he does not want to be happy at all times, sometimes he wants to be sad or unhappy like when watching sad movie or song. The counter is that he wants to be sad because it makes him happy.
Be like a tortoise in using your senses. Tortoise retracts its body parts under hard shell whenever it feels danger. Likewise we should withdraw and stay away from situations where our senses may be endangered. For example, a smoker trying to quit smoking, should avoid groups where others are smoking. Because he may be tempted to smoke.
Lord Rama killed Bali by hiding behind a tree. Because Bali represented lust and he had a boon that his opponent will lose half his power when facing him. So he could be killed only by hiding from him and lust.
