The ‘I am’ is in a dormant condition in the womb, it is an ignorant condition. How could it know itself? At three years or so the knowledge ‘I am’ comes spontaneously with the formation of body. Around middle age it is at a climax, while in old age the quality of ‘I amness’ is diminished. Then finally the ‘I am’ disappears, and identity too is gone.
