''You are Atman - Realize this Atman and be free''
ATMAN
Whatever has a
beginning or an end is unreal. That which exists in the past, the present and
the future is real.
Only Brahman exists
in these three periods of time. Hence Brahman alone is real.
The reality
underlying all names and forms, the primal one from which everything originates
is Brahman, the absolute. Brahman is the soul of all joy, all bliss. Brahman
transcends phenomena. Production and destruction are only phenomena, the
jugglery of the mind or maya (illusion).
Brahman is infinite,
eternal, immortal. Infinity is one only that which is unchanging, indivisible,
non dual, beginningless, endless, timeless, spaceless, causeless, can be
infinite. There can be no parts, no differences, no distinctions in Brahman.
Brahman is self
luminous, self existent, self contained, self established, self revealed.
Brahman illumines itself by itself; by its nature it is ever illumined.
Individual souls and the world are unreal nothing save Brahman is eternal.
This
Brahamn is your Self or Atman
Immortality,
knowledge, bliss purity, independence, perfection, etc., constitute the very
nature of Brahman. He resides in your heart. He witnesses the activity of the
buddhi (intellect). Word, speech, mouth, may not approach Brahman. Mind also cannot
go there.
Supreme Brahman is
impersonal, formless, all pervading and subtle but he can be reached through
meditation, through the eye of intuition, by one who has purified himself and
who is endowed with the four means of salvation.
God cannot be seen
with the physical eyes but he reveals himself to His devotees. He is one though
called by countless names. Realise the reality of the one existence, the one
life that throbs in all atoms, in all beings he one power that creates,
sustains and dissolves this universe.
