ATMAN
A symbol of the Supreme. The Logos or Self which
enters upon manifestation and indwells in the universe and soul.
"Brahman Atman, that is, Brahman, the power from which all worlds
proceed, in which they subsist, and into which they finally return;
this eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent power is identical with our
âtman, with that in each of us which we must consider as our true
Self, the unchangeable essence of our being, our Soul. This idea
alone secures to the Upanishads an importance reaching far beyond
their land and time; for whatever means of unveiling the secrets of
Nature a future time may discover, this idea will be true for ever,
from this mankind will never départ ;- if the mystery of Nature is
to be solved, the key of it can be found only there where alone
Nature allows us an interior view of the world, that is, in
ourselves." - P. DEUSSEN, Outlines of Ind. Phil., pp. 22-3.
“This is my Self in my innermost heart." - Sata. Bráh., X. 6, 3.
