• Why the word aham (I) is used eight times in the 16th verse with 32 syllables and therefore consists of half the verse. 

​

•Only one whose ego has gone away can naturally say aham ("I") many times over; nobody else can say it. If a person egotistic then he will not be able to say "I" naturally.  A study of the "you attitude" in management.  How people use the word "your" rather than "I" to cover and hide their ego.

​
