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 the many souls theory. Sage Sankara's wisdom is ekathma vada (one Soul).
The seeker must remember that the Self is Athma, which is not limited to an individual, but Athma pervades everything and everywhere in the 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,
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.
Brahman is merely a word to indicate the ultimate truth or God in truth. The ultimate truth itself is God in truth. :~Santthosh Kumaar
