Sage Sankara was unique in making bold assertions, declaring that Athma is God in truth. Athma is the cause of the universe. The universe is illusory. Athma, the cause of the illusory universe, is real and eternal.
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.
Sage Sankara rejects the 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 must remember that the Self means Athma, which is not limited to an individual, but Athma pervades everything and everywhere in the universe.
Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ~ Brahman (God in truth) is the form of the Athma, and it is indeed Athma itself.
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 in 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.
When the Upanishads and Vedas declare that “God is in the form of the Athma, and God is indeed Athma itself,” then why accept another God in place of the Athma or worship other than the Athma?
Nothing is real but Athma, which is present in the form of consciousness. Nothing matters but realizing 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.: :~Santthosh Kumaar
