Atman

The word �Atman� (pronounced in Sanskrit like �Atma�) is interpreted as the �Main Essence� of man, as his Highest Self. �A� in this word is a negative particle. �Tma� means �darkness�. The word �tamas� � �ignorance�, �spiritual darkness� � has the same root. Therefore �A-tma� or �Atman� means �opposite to darkness�, �shining�.

In essence, Atman is the best, the Divine part of everyone's multidimensional organism. Atman is the Brahmanic Fire, when we become this Fire, and the Atmic energy kundalini � precious content of the �money-box�, where the best of us, which has been accumulated in all previous incarnations, is stored.
