Athma or Atman is the Sanskrit word for the Soul, the Self.+

There is no proper word for Athma in English. Translators used the Self for Athma, which is an error. Athma means existence. Athma is the cause of the whole universe whereas the Self is limited to a physical entity.

The English use of the word the Self as applied to the individual Soul. Sage Sankara rejects many souls theory. Sage Sankara's wisdom is ekathma vada (one Soul).

Existence without the illusory form, time, and space is applied to unseen Athma, which is the cause and support of the illusory universe in which we exist.

The seeker has to remember the Self means Athma, which is not limited to an individual but Athma pervades in everything and everywhere in the whole universe.

Athma or Soul. Athma or Atman is the Sanskrit word for the Soul, the Self. Athma is the cause and support of all that exists as this universe.

Athma is immanent, unaging, immortal, eternal and holy, and the cause of all. Athma alone is worthy of being worshiped.

Do not accept any other God other than the Athma. The Athma is God in truth,

Nothing is real but Athma, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realize God in truth.

God in truth is everywhere and in everything. Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is real and eternal and all else is an illusion.

Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. 

As a lighted lamp does not need another lamp to manifest its light, so the Atman, being Consciousness itself, does not need another instrument to illumine itself’.

The Soul regains fearlessness by realizing that it is not a Jiva (individual self) but the Supreme Soul.

The tangible universe is verily Atman. A Gnani is the knower of the Soul, the 'Self' to whom the ideas 'me' and 'mine' have become quite meaningless.

The Soul, the ‘Self’ is always the same in all beings and free from old age, death, and fear. The ‘Self’ is pure which the mind and speech do not reach.

The pervading Soul, the ’Self’ is the same in waking, dream, and deep sleep. One's actions come to an end when the ‘Self’ is seen.

There is no ignorance in the Soul, the Self’,’ as It is the nature of eternal Knowledge. The ‘Self’ should be regarded as Brahman.

The intense desire for the realization of the Atman after renouncing all others is alone the means for the attainment of the Atman. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
