Aptavani-8
191
The Atma that I am referring to, is one in which there is no subtle (sookshma) division, nor gross (sthool) division; it is indivisible and inseparable (avibhagi-avibhajya), which is the Absolute Soul (Parmatma). And you are talking about an Atma that is gross (sthool) and subtle (sookshma) which can be divided. All this gross and subtle is impermanent and destructible (vinashi). It is a mechanical atma. It will only work if you allow air into it (body), but if you stop the air from entering, it will perish. Whereas the original and fundamental (muda) Atma never dies.
So if the Atma were a portion of the Absolute Soul (Parmatma), it would never become absolute. And if it does not become absolute, then it cannot be the Atma! ‘You' are absolute. But you are not aware of it. Your awareness is just a fraction. You are the whole Absolute Soul. The Absolute Soul can never be a portion. You cannot make pieces out of the Absolute Soul.
Can You Ever Make a Rupee from a Pai?
Do you now understand that Bhagwan (God) exists in an absolute form? You thought God existed as a fraction (ansha)? So when those people who have said that he exists as a fraction, it cannot be wrong, can it? Would that be wrong? It is not wrong, but if they drank the medicine which was supposed to be rubbed on, what would happen? What is the fraction form (ansha swaroop)? It is that Bhagwan within you is complete and full (sarvansha), but however many coverings (avaran) break, a proportional Knowledge (Gnan) is uncovered for you. But the Bhagwan within is complete (sarvansha). And in this lifetime, it is possible that the complete Knowledge (Gnan) can manifest for you. It has to be someone from Hindustan (India). That is because someone from here, in Hindustan, is "fully developed (spiritually evolved). This Gnan is not useful to those in foreign countries. It is because they do not understand
