Recognize the Atman by understanding the knowledge ‘I am’, the
Atma-jnana,
which
is all pervading, limitless and infinite.
A very important statement was made earlier where the knowledge
‘I am’ was said to be ‘Brahman’
with
the ‘Parabrahman’ lying beyond it.
Another
important statement is made here where the ‘Atman’ or the Self is
to be understood by
understanding the ‘I am’.
The
‘I am’ is the ‘Atman’.
The
‘Atman’ with qualities or identifying itself with the body is the
‘Jivatman’ (Jiva=living being).
The
‘Atman’ without qualities is the ‘Nirmalatman’ (Nirmal=pure).
The
‘Atman’ which transcends both is the ‘Paramatman’ (The ultimate
transcendent Self).
As
you abide in the ‘I am’ you will know the ‘Atman’ or Self in all
its aspects, and this is Atma-jnana or
Self-knowledge.
It
is the knowledge of your True being as the Absolute which is all
pervading, limitless and infinite.
