Scripture: The Aitareya Upanishad Part III:1-2
Who is this Self on whom we meditate?
Is it the Self by which we see, hear, smell, and taste,
Through which we speak in words? Is Self the mind
By which we perceive, direct, understand,
Know remember, think, will, desire, and love?
These are but servants of the Self, who is
Pure consciousness.

If you ask people to define themselves, to tell you who they are, they will tell you there profession, what college they went to, etc. They will talk about their physical being and mind. None of that is the true self. The true self is spirit and soul which exists as pure conciousness.
