simple ga alonchinu bro anta theory avasaram ledu. definition of desire is this  "a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen". even thoughts are karma. everything you do mentally physically is karma. 

human beings with no desire is death. wanting to eat is desire. wanting to sleep is desire. wanting  to be spiritual is desire and everything you want  or be is desire by itself. we cannot be desire less in any manner. 

people generally say being content and happy is spiritual. we cannot be content and happy at the same time actually. Spirituality means aspiring to be something. 

 

 

 

so what is your conclusion?

I am not sure where you got that from. Aham Brahmasmi and Tat tvam asi are not the same sentence. They are from the mahavakyas of advaitha philosophy. And also, Tat Tvam Asi ante you are that ani kadhu. Thou art that ante ikkada reference is with Sat, the eternal truth. The four maha vakyas are, Prajnanam Brahma/Ayam Atma Brahma/Tat Tvam Asi & Aham Brahsmi. The Advaitha philosophy is defined by the 4 mahavakyas and all of them say the same thing. Jiva is not different from Aatma and both are the same and a part of the whole which is brahma.

Just to clear further, Tat Tvam Asi is from sama veda and Aham Brahmasmi is from Yajur Veda. The manifestation is represented in multiple forms. In Hinduism there are several schools of thought. Dvaita philosophy which treats the JivaAtma and brahman as separate entities and brahman is independent while Jivatma is dependendent of the independent. After the raise of Budhism in the middle ages, Adi Sankaracharya took up the task of debating and bringing back the glory of Hinduism. He proposed the Advaita Vedanta.

Aham Brahmasmi is loosely translated to I am god. But, that is to be looked in with the context. Hinduism treats Sat as the extreme manifestation of Brahman and vice versa. Ekam Sat, Vipra Bahuda vadanti. Truth is one,learned call it by many names. So, the multiplicity of Gods is inherent. That is the difference in mono theistic religions and Hindutva. The Hindutva philosophy lends itself to Jivatma and believes in oneness with nature which is the exreme end goal and called nirvana. So, if someone is able to identify that there is brahman in every being in the nature, they donot have to say Aham Brahsmi again. Also, Brahman is not God, it is the truth and oneness with truth. A lot of us Indians, do a self slap action when our leg hits a paper or someone else. That is in recognition of the fact that the brahman exists in every being. 

Hindutva is not about egos or God. It is about self and self realization. This is what I understood from whatever I have read so far.

Advaita Vedanta was not proposed by Shamkara per se. He was an exponent of it. The sampradaya comes from Adi Guru, Sadashiva in the form of Dakshinamurthy.. hence the Guru-shishya parampara sloka starts goes “sadasiva samarambham..” Of course, Shamkara was sakshat shiva avatar.. that is a different story.

another point about the buddhist nirvana, it is different from Moksha. What the adherents of Hindu darshanas seek is Moksha.
