eye does not see but it is the atma that sees. In the dead body also there are big eyes similar to those of a living man. Even so, why does not the dead man see? When we examine this direct evidence again and again we have to admit and say that the eye does not see but the Atma that was pervading therein sees. The eye is only an instrument. Just as people look through windows and doors of a house, the Atma looks through the eyes in the body. From this we perceive that eyes in the body and other sense organs are separate from the 'Atma'.
As fire in fire-wood and ghee in milk are not perceptible to us though latent in them, the soul is also not perceptible though it exists in the body. When soul comes to know of its true nature, it evinces inclination to practise Dharma, it breaks the bondage of Karma and becomes free from birth and death. That immortal soul becomes the enjoyer of permanent, continuous, uninterrupted and infinite happiness in the region of final absolution (Mukti).
In this manner, Atma stands established by many pramanas (Stand points). This also well establishes that it has come from Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
