That which makes sound perceptible to the ear is the Atma. The eye has the capability only to see. Ears have the capability only to hear. The tongue can only taste. Each of the sense organs can do only one function. But the sense organs cannot carry out their function completely on their own. Eye can see and not hear. Ears can hear but not see. Hence, each of the sense organs is bestowed with one only one function.
It is only Divinity that has all the powers. The sky is reflected in a pot filled with water. The sky is seen as a reflection in the pot only as long as the pot has a form. Once the pot is broken, the sky is no longer seen.
Where has the sky gone? It has its existence. The sky did not come inside the pot. Neither did it go back when the pot was broken.
It was visible so long as there was water in the pot. The sky is reflected in the water, and once the water flows out, the reflection of the sky also vanishes.
In the same way, our body is like a pot and the mind is like the water. The Atma must always be reflected in this mind. It will be reflected as long as the pot is unbroken. It is there even after the pot is broken but is not visible. We cannot argue of its existence because it is no more inside the body. The Atma is limitless. These three words look different but they represent the same principle. Without purity, there is no truth.
Without truth there is no beauty. Beauty gives glow. Truth lets you know the real nature of any object or a person. Thus, with the help of the other two, purity gives brightness to objects or persons.
The united form of all these three components is the principle of Atma. This is cloth showing His kerchief. What is the basis for this cloth? Thread is the basis of this cloth. Where did this thread come from? The thread comes from cotton.
The true form of all these three different objects is the same. In the same way, truth, purity and beauty are three different words but the meaning they convey is the same. So also is the case with love, beauty, sweetness and glow. One of our ninth class boys talked about these words.
There is no difference in these words. The meaning they convey is the same. When the heart melts, love flows. When this love ripens, it translates into beauty. Where can I find Atma within me?

Is Atman seated within me? Is it true that Atman of every being is actually one? Atman is not seated within you. Atman is seated within your body. It's like asking 'Is body seated within body? Krishna during Bhagavad Gita has used these terms interchangeably. Some people translate Atma as "soul" and then "soul" is treated as "jiva".
In that case it becomes different. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Glorfindel 1 1 gold badge 3 3 silver badges 11 11 bronze badges. SwiftPushkar SwiftPushkar So is this why when everything else fails within the body we still can survive but if heart fails then we are gone Atman is just the illuminator of indriyas.
Atman do not get involved in Sense pleasures. He is apart from body. Atman is separate. Why we die? SO its just a saying. Some say the Atman resides in between Eyebrows will try to find that also. And will update the answer later. Show 2 more comments. Atman is everywhere not just inside a body. Astavakra Samhita: The Self is witness, all-pervading , perfect, One, free, Consciousness, actionless, unattached, desireless and quiet.

DheerajVerma Adi Shankara's commentary is missing for that verse but here is another similar one: verse 3.
