    Dear Chitvish,

    That is great way of expressing atma..... So atma is the internal soul which doesnt have time space etc... Anatma is the body.... They both co-exist...

    But I thought they merge together....

    So when a person dies, only the anatma die and the athma and anathme splits... Then the atma continues......

    Ok... It looks like something is going in... Sorry if I ask stupid questions and keep repeating....

    Now coming back... then why do people say... ketta atma, nalla atma.... If Atma is pure then where from this comes... Also if it is the anatma which makes the person a good human being or a bad human being then how does it works....????

    Is there a continuation.....

    Waiting for your next on this topic...??????

    Dear Vysan,
    Do not ever think, you are asking stupid questions. Everybody goes through such doubts, before understanding.
    For your question
    Also if it is the anatma which makes the person a good human being or a bad human being then how does it works....????
    Please read my posts Sarirathrayam _ Part 1 & 2, in detail.
    After that, in case the doubt persists, please get back to me. You will understand that the sukshma sariram, acting as the storehouse of us, over births, decides our actions.
    Atma & anatma coexist - this is a better expression that merging since atma is an independant entity.
    Please read the topicson vedanta in the order I have given. You are welcome to come back with queries, any time - please feel free to do so.
    Regards,
    Chithra.

    Dear Mrs. C,

    Now after reading Atma part 2 I can understand the pot example very easy. Now it makes really great sense about atma and anatma how they are put together. Thanks for a good examples.

    Dear Madhu,
    My admiraion for you is increasing with every feedback.
    Atma has to be understood before going to Gita 2nd chapter.
    I am glad, your understanding is very good now.
    Thankyou, Madhu.
    Love,
    Chithra.
