Masthani sarva bhutani nachAham theshwavasthithaha
Nachamasthani bhutani pasyamE yogameswaram
Bhutabhrunnacha bhuthastho mama atma bhutabhavanaha.
In the above mentioned two slokas of Rajavidyarajaguhya yoga, Atma is defined clearly.
All this Univerce ,is pervaded by Me in anUnmanifested form; all beings are in me, but I am not in them. Nor these beings suspended in Me behold My Devine nature. I am ATMA, The sustainer and the protector of beings, and the generator of thoughts.
Where from thought generate?? ..........From Mind.
What sustains and protects the beings??..........Jeeva. So,Jeevatma is the embodied Self.
Therefore, the all pervading Unmanifest, the Supreme Self is Atma, the same when embodied
Is Jeevatma.
" Ajo nithyaha sashwathoyam purANo na HanyathE HanyamAnE shareerE."
Atma is birth less, constant, eternal,and ancient..It is not slain when the body is slain.
Atma is birthless means, atma is there,existing from time immemorarable, from time beyond our count. Henceforth Atma is obviously ancient, and permanent too. As I mentioned,
In my previous blogs, my interpretation of Atma is an exceptionally, extordinarily,supernatural,
Indescribable,superspecial Magnetic field of features beyond human perception. Those sages and siddhas,who witnessed Atma say, That is unexplainable and beyond mind and speech. How special Atma is described by Lord Krishna in Sankhya yoga, ( 2nd chapter) in 23rd sloka.
Neinam chindanthi sastraNi neinam dahathi pavakaha
Na cheinam klEdayanthyApo na soshayathi maruthaha...
Weapons cannot cut it, fire does not burn it, water cannot moisten it, and wind cannot dispatch it. So, Atma is beyond five elements' influence, with which we mortals, on this planet are surviving while running the show. But, when the same Self resides inside a living being, it has to behold the Nature of these five elements [earth, water! fire, wind and space] along with mind, intellect and accumulated results of karma. That's why That is named Jeevatma. ( Atma in a Jeevi )
When Jeevatma leaves a body and enters the new one, carries the nature of that embodied self with it. But That will not perish. All this costume changeover is not visible to us.
So, Atma is said to be Unmanifest, Unthinkable, indestructible,and Eternal, Invisible.
Vishnusahasranamam Praises the different characteristics of Atma.
Putatma, Ameyathma,Dhrutatma, Visrutatma, Prasannatma, prakasatma, Vruddharma,EkAtma
Anantatma, Visuddhatma, Thrilokatma, Jeevatma, Paramatma, ViswAtma are the different qualitative names of Atma. Meaning of these names in order goes like this.....
Atma is...
Ancient, not comparable to anything , permanent, ever Expanding, cheerful, bright like light,
Old, only one unit, infinite, absolutely Pure, Spead in Thrilokas, Embodied self, Supreme Self,and all pervading the Universe.....
All above mentioned virtues of Atma are attributed to Lord Vishnu,in Vishnu sahasranamam.
These Devine Spiritual attributes are not apparent when Atma adopts a visible form..and acts
as embodied self.
DEhi nithyam-avadhyoyam DEhE sarvasya bharatha
This embodied self in everyone's body eternally indestructible. So Death should not be grieved.
All living beings must abide this Unmanifest Atma. This is the eternal, immutable ancient principle with Which the entire creation is existing.
The supreme commander, with supreme Mind, and supreme Cosciousness,
The supreme intelligence with supreme knowledge and perception,
The supreme power with supreme attraction and beholding nature,
The all pervading invisible witness, supreme controller, knowerof past,present,future,
The formless which can take any form, the supreme Protector , the Life Force,
The unperishable, unexplainable , wonderful Devine existance which resides in the
Hearts of all beings, is Atma.
The all in one Devine Super natural Existance is Atma.
This extensive interpretation of Atma, May not be still sufficient because, those who have seen that experience many more things extra. Whatever may Gita say, one thing is absolutely true.ie Atma is totally mystic and Devine.
