Aham brahmasmi means "I am God." Tatvamasi means "You are that" or "It's you."

Aham brahmasmi tatvamasi is a Sanskrit phrase and Brahman is the infinite reality.

True. But only if ego is taken out from you, you can become Aham brahmansi. The Upanishads write man has the capacity to improve one's present state and how to guide the future. Man has the power to know the truth and also to free oneself from the cycle of birth and death. This can only be done through Karma.

In Vaishnavism philosophy, the phrase Aham Brahmansi means "I am a drop of Ocean of Consciousness."

It is also described as, "I am soul, part of cosmic spirit, Parabrahma."

Aham brahmasmi in fact is one of the four Mahavakyas of the Upanishads. The Mahavakyas in the Hindu text explains unity of macrocosm and microcosm. The other three are:

Prajnanam Brahma
Ayam Atma Brahma
Tat Tvam Asi

Yes, these are the principal Mahavakyas. There are other too like brahma satyam jagan mithyā, ekam evadvitiyam brahma, so 'ham and sarvam khalvidam brahma.

Aham brahmasmi tatvamasi in simple language means that god is within you hence "you are god" (Aham brahmasmi ) and you are "its you" "tatvamasi "
If god is everywhere than within you as well hence I am god and we are all that one supreme divided by physical forms.

Aham brahmasmi means "I am God." Tatvamasi means "You are that" or "It's you."

Aham brahmasmi tatvamasi is a Sanskrit phrase and Brahman is the infinite reality.
The divine is there within everyone, but it is only in the realized master that the divinity is totally unveiled through virtuous conduct, worship, meditation and spiritual exercises of awareness/ mindfulness and compassion.

Such enlightened sages are considered auspicious, hence the reason why people visit such sages in India.

Such enlightenment or Buddhahood is attained through great austerity and disciplined work.

Even though divinity is there in all human beings, there are many who through ignorance indulge in vices, and accumulate greater karma and inauspiciousness within themselves.
