Once this question arises in one’s intellect, he may divert his attention in two different levels.
One is scientific and the other is spiritual.
scientific if infinite, so lets' have it spiritually.
Experiments based on equations like mahAvAkyAs will not be of help to any one.
The three practices which one attains complete knowledge of Mahavakyas are thru shravana, manana, and nidhidhyasana.
1) Listening to satras with proper dhwani(it not just hearing) is shravana
2) Recollectiong what has been taught with its full importance is manana,
it is basically ‘Anumāna(verdict of manas),
3) Mind seeks for fact which ends up in profound mediation, which is nidhidhyasana.
The truth gets revealed (heard) to the seeker as ‘agama’ and ‘sabda’.That remains the pramAna of Mahavkyas.
Repeated reading of the sastras (chanting with devotion) that mentions mahavakya is the first step for comprehending the pramAna of it.
Aham brahmasmi is the first mahavakya that is heard to a seeker; some have a habbit of even chanting it repeatedly during their meditation.
Thus you (physical body+ mind) start to be one with Brahman.
Prajnanam brahma is the command for unifying the intellect with Brahman
Ayamatma brahma is the command for unifying the (atman)self with Brahman
Tattvamasi is the command for complete freedom.
