In the Kramic marg (Traditional step-by-step path of spiritual progress, Self-realization), the mechanical atma itself, is believed to be the real Atma, and the mechanical chetan is considered to be the Atma itself. When the ego (ahamkar) becomes pure (shuddha), meaning that there is no longer any room for anger (krodh), pride (maan), deceit (maya), greed (lobh); when the ego becomes pure in that way; completely pure, that is when the pure Soul (Shuddhatma) and the pure ego (shuddha ahamkar), become one.
