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 the 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,
