Here is one view perhaps you may wish to consider.
It is not so much what you are but that you start the transformation/unfoldment/realization to who you are. One changes along the way.
One way, though meditation, one settles down the mind… The notion is to experience sūkṣma gati. What is that ? Refined, subtle, awareness. This is the direction to God-Consciousness. Yet one must start with turiya¹ ( the 4th) , then to Self-consciousness that is there all the time ( 7x24x365), then one moves to God Consciousness. Just like taking a hot bath we enter 1 foot at a time and get use to the warmth. Said another way one increases in the experience of stabilizing turiya in one's awareness.
So its not so much one's physical makeup or behavior selections or preferences... it is about realizing that no matter what you are it is what is at your core (sārā) that is of most profound interest and value.
