Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 lyonsdavid7@ aol.com Difference between Atma and Consciousness The Atma comes from the Paramatman.Just as the Atman is essential for the body,so is Paramatman for the Atman.The Atman guides your development and is the basis or root cause of all your physical and subtle bodies to experience every thing and will then in the correct time take back all that you have experienced as a human to Paramatman in you time of total realisation. Sai brother. Dr.David Lyons. ---------- Meenakshi Chintapalli <mkchintapalli@ > Difference between Atma and Consciousness Sai Ram Sai Brothers and Sisters, Atmic realization is the true Swadharma, but not the duties. Swami said in an interview, DUTY is like moving from one house to another house,you take all your belongings with you. DHARMA is like getting a transfer, and moving out of town, you leave what you do not need and take only what you need as a necessity. Dharma is realization through detachment to articles of physical importance and realization of teh ESSENCE of LIFE. You do not go back to what you do not need. A stage is attained where no desire exists than see the divine in all the acts. Atma is energy that is indestructible with no feelings at all other than make the senses perceive and move the divine instrument, the incredible hardware, the body. It is the inherent power behind everything that all the animate and inanimates in the creation carries. This is expressed as the pancha bhootas under th right circumstances. The latent fire in the wood, paper, the sprouting energy in the seed and the inherent potential in every human birth to express the unconditional love and capacity to create what is envisioned. That is the reason why Swami always says that YOU ARE GOD. He is the indweller in all of us. But our senses block the realization. When we really not think about anyhting and close our eyes and seek the indweller, he is the inner voice who guides the thoughts for universal welfare and not for teh individual benefit. As Swami is the indweller in the form of divine energy within all, when one sincerely seeks his help, he manifests and takes care of the needs of the true seeker. He has been touching through his miracles many devotees thousands of miles away. He knows exactly what was said thousands of miles away. He knows the intentions, thoughts, words and actions as he is the universal indweller. Only an experiences person can attest to the fact and the others can learn from teh experiences of the devotees who share. We are little drops in the OCEAN one BIG ATMA and when the body perishes, the ATMA is released into the BIG RESERVOIR ATMA and gets enveloped again into another body based upon the individual karmic attainment and bondage. When the karma of good and bad is equal, the need for the physical body does not exist. Jesus revealed to the Fisherman about the fact that if the Body does good and godly acts, God will make the person a permanent pillar in his Temple. Same thing as the Jeevanmukti in Sanatana Dharma. Therefore ATMA is one continous stream of energy with no begining and no end. In Sai service with love Meena Chintapalli ______________________________\ ____ Get your own web address.
