Avadhut Chapter Two (741 words) |
 | The wise discover that Atman which is not seen either by study of the Vedas, by initiations, by shaving the head, or by being a Guru or a chela (an approved disciple). |
| That God, Atman, by whose power the whole universe is born, in which it abides and to which it finally returns like bubbles and waves in the sea, is realised by the wise. |
| Atman which the wise realise, is not the aim of control of breath (pranayama) nor of the postures of Hatha Yoga. |
| Atman in Sunyata and the Sunyata of Atman [Buddha's World] (3551 words) |
| Whereas the former school of thought is credited with the belief in the existence of the Atman or the soul as the core reality of the human individual, the latter school is famous for the theory of Anatman or denial of the existence of any self or soul substance. |
| Atman is consciousness absolutely purged of all factual specificities---everything that consciousness accumulates during its involvement with the empirical world or Samsara. |
| Transcendence from the life of a Jiva to that of Atman requires that the self render itself into emptiness (Sunyata) as far as the perspectival subjectivity of the former mode of life is concerned. |
