Is ATMA the same in everyone?

In every living being, there is the element of Soul (Atma, the real Self), which by nature, is the same for all. However, physically, each is a separate Soul.

Gnanis (the Enlightened Ones) behold the complete Vision of the whole and complete, independent Absolute Soul that resides in each and every being. So come, let’s understand the facts by seeing through their vision....

Atma is an ElementrnElement means what?... rnThe Enlightened One explains:rnWhat is the definition of ‘element’?rnElement is always eternal, having its own properties. It cannot be mix with any other element, cannot merge with any element. It is an eternal, permanent thing. There is no mixing of merging of it with any other element.

There is a belief that all the Souls were in some super Soul or super-power and we have departed from that super-power or super Soul. We are all different different pieces of that super Soul. But it is not like that. This is all a wrong belief.rnYou are Independent; You are whole, totally and completely a pure SoulrnThe Soul can only be experienced, not described in words.rnSuppose you are a part of some super Soul. Say you are a part of Lord Krishna or Lord Jesus or Lord Rama. But they have left this Earth. All of them have left this Earth, right? So their Soul will have gone somewhere in the Universe. So if we all would have been one, then when the Super Soul has left this Earth, then we also have to leave this Earth.

Element cannot be a part. There is no union. Your Soul is separate, Her Soul is separate. If union of two Souls is there, it means everything will be same of the two. If she will get burnt, you will also suffer. rnYour Soul is IndividualrnHis, her, mine, Lord Rama’s, Lord Mahavira’s, Lord Krishna’s, Lord Jesus’s Soul – all Souls are different, individually separate. You can’t make pieces of Soul.rnParam Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, explains: rnBy nature every Soul is Same, but in existence, our Souls are Different.

Each Soul is independent. Every Soul’s nature is the same, but they are all separate entities. These bars of gold are all separate, but essentially it is all gold. You can say the same for the Soul; that it is one, but just like these gold bars, they are all separate. There is no other difference in them.

In the Universe, there is not just one Soul; there are infinite living beings, and in each living being there is a separate Soul. But they all, as a Soul, have the same inherent nature. There is never any change in the inherent properties or traits of one Soul from another.

In these bars of gold, each bar is separate, but it is all called ‘gold’. Similarly it is said that the ‘Soul’ is same, but just like these gold bars, they are all separate. There is no difference as such in them.

One presently is in the stage of Ignorance of the Soul (hence the illusion that ‘I am really John’)rnAt the moment, ‘I am John (you may insert your name here)’ is the awareness we have; ‘I am Soul’ is not the awareness that we have! Only when our veils of ignorance are removed, illusion leaves and the Soul is expressed. rnAnd how do we remove the veils of ignorance? rnMeeting Gnani is all that it requires!!!

Through Akram Vignan, we can attain Self-Realization in a matter of two hours only. Here Gnani, with his divine spiritual powers, breaks the veils of ignorance and gives us a direct experience of the Soul (the real Self). That’s when we taste the experience of eternal bliss. rnThe nature of the Soul is eternal bliss. Every Soul has the same nature. But each one has to attain Self-Realization to remove the veils of ignorance that cover his / her specific Soul.

So come, let’s go attain Self-Realization!
