Atman, Soul or the Self or consciousness or awareness is one and the same thing.+

The Atman is the Sanskrit word, for Soul the Self. The Atman or Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the Soul is nondualistic awareness.

Thus, Atman, Soul or the Self or consciousness or the awareness is one and the same thing.

This universe in which you exist is merely an illusion created out of a single stuff. That single stuff is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness.

The experience of birth, life, death, which happens within the universe, which is merely an illusion.

The form, time, and space are within the universe. Without the form, time and space, there is no universe.

The universe is present only when the mind is present. The mind is present when the ‘I’ is present.

From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the universe is merely an illusion.

If the universe is merely an illusion, then the experience of birth, life, and death happen within the universe is merely an illusion.

If the universe is mere an illusion, then the form, time, and space are mere an illusion. If the form, time, and space are merely an illusion, then the mind is merely an illusion.

If the mind is mere an illusion, then the ‘I’ is mere an illusion.

If the ‘I’ is mere an illusion then the substance and the witness of the ‘I’ which is the formless Soul alone is real and eternal. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
