has been covered up, and the wrong vision (vibhavik drashti) has set in, that the world has come about!
The fundamental real Atma (nischay atma) is the pure Soul (Shuddhatma), and in worldly interaction (vyavahar) it is the believed atma, which is the relative self (pratishthit atma). I am Chandubhai, I am his maternal uncle, his paternal uncle...; this wrong belief has become instilled, and it has created an instilled (pratishthit) persona which continually gives results.
