Atman Should Be Most Subtle

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“It has been mentioned in previous lessons that the ultimate 'I' is also called

as 'Atma' 'Paramatma' and 'Pratyagatma'.

 

We have also learnt that 'I' is not the body, or mind or intellect or ego, etc.

It therefore follows that Atma should invariably be more subtle than all of the

above. It should be all pervading-- like the sky. It should be eternal and

devoid of Gunas (attributes) like sattva-rajas and tamas. It should remain

untainted.

 

Body, etc., have the tendency of being created and destroyed. They have

movement. Because 'Atman' is subtle and all-pervading, there is no question of

'movement'.

 

Mind and intellect have ego, desires, aversions, etc. Atman cannot have these."
