Living beings have three kinds of soul - the extroverted-soul (bahiratma), the introverted-soul (antaratma), and the pure-soul (paramatma). The one who mistakes the body and the like for the soul is the extroverted-soul (bahiratma). The extrovertedsoul spends his entire life in delusion and suffers throughout. The one who entertains no delusion about psychic dispositions - imperfections like attachment and aversion, and soul-nature - is the introverted-soul (antaratma). The knowledgeable introverted-soul disconnects the body, including the senses, from the soul. The one who is utterly pure and rid of all karmic dirt is the pure-soul (paramatma). Samadhitantram expounds the method of realizing the pure-soul, the light of supreme knowledge, and infinite bliss. Samadhitantram answers the vexed question, "Who am I?' in forceful and outrightly logical manner, in plain words. No one, the ascetic or the householder, can afford not to realize the Truth contained in the treatise, comprehend it through and through, and change his conduct accordingly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 354
