A soul's journey in self realization

We all are one. We are appearing as many. How is this possible? Yes. Do you see you in a mirror? Your body is real. Your reflection in a mirror is not real. Your body is real. Your image in a photo is not real. Your body is real. Your shadow on a wall is not real. 

I got a spark of self realization at my age of 3-4 years. Can you believe it? When i was child, i was playing in my house. My mother was cooking in kitchen. I was running around a room unintentionally. It was late in the evening. Suddenly lights were switched off due to power shut down. But i didn't stopped my play. I continued running. A candle was lighted at the middle of the room. Its light gave some brightness in the dark room. I saw my shadow on the wall incidentally. I rushed to catch it. But i could not. I was seriously thinking how it was slipping out of my hands! Someone was telling me, child it is your shadow, you can not catch it. A sudden spark of thought arisen in my mind. If it is (thinking about my physical form) is i, then who is this? (Shadow of body on the wall) I think it is a reverse perspective of who am i? I didn't have any answers then. Later when i grow up, i was blessed with lot of struggles & some knowledge in my life. People call it by self realization.

Ok. Let's continue our introspection about how oneness appears as many. So your body is real. But your reflections, images and shadows are not real ones. But it seems to be a real one in the view of a child. Similarly, we're all one. But an ignorant thinks it as many. 

Another thought is arising in mind. Anyone who just hears the words like self realization, who am i? , oneness will start their journey on the same nearly. One more thing i want to blog is I am not a believer of time.
