The existence aspect of chaitanyam, and is self evident. Chaitanyam thereby is self evident that I am.
But that this I am, is not limited to a mind, or a body is not evident by itself.

Guru shastra gives upadesha that the chaitanyam is not a local chaitanyam, but is the all pervading chaitanyam.
When we say anything 'is' and experience anything, in that experience when we say the tree experience 'is', the isness belongs to the very same experiencer whom we say 'I is'.
