What is Atma? - Part 1

Dear Mom,
I finally got time to Read about Atma, Very good explanation. I also belive there is some electricity with in us. I read it several times to get a better understanding. Thanks for sharing this treasure with us.

Love
Birundha

 

Excellent topic started with vivid points by Chitra and well explained by Sri sir followed by various members.

It has highlighted many views and conclutions of this universal mystery.

Atma is the one where we see the world as one of auspicious and worshipful.
Atma is the sprit and peace it brings in.
Atma as the self, inner self and supreme self.
Atma is pure, noble, selfless sacrifices, one and non dual Brahman.
Atma is a teacher and shisya, it can show only the truth.
When we understand the 5 kosha's namely:
Annamaya Kosha.
Pranamaya Kosha
Manomaya kosha
Vignamaya kosha
Anandamaya kosha
To reach the self " Atma "

Dear Chithra,
The explanation of Atma by means of an example which was a very apt one for us to understand easily gives us a peek into its nature. I have been lagging behind in up-dating myself but I will catch up soon with your latest. Since the discussion on Atma is a heavy subject, I do not want to rush through it at one go. I do plan to take a print out of all your writings about the Gita for a more relaxed reading at my leisure.
Regards,
Malathi

 

Dear Chitvish,

Sorry for joining late... Better be late than never... I am happy I didnt miss the bus...

That was a very great way of explaining Atma like electricity passing on electrical gadgets and suppliment from Sri that it reflects to the place or body it gets into....

This leads to lot of questions in my mind...... If Atma is so pure, why do we say nalla atma, ketta athma..... so lot of questions.....

First let me read the part 2 and ask for further clarifications.... as being a late comer...

Dear Mrs. C,

Thank you for giving us such good examples on what is Atma. Hopefully it will sink in my mind soon. I have read all of your replies also to understand better.
