THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
The Atmic consciousness that permeates every living being is referred to
as Brahman. When it is individualised, it is called conscience. It is also
referred to as Jiva. When the Atmic consciousness is encased in a body, it
becomes an individual. The individual, the Atma and consciousness - all the
three are one and the same. People think they are different because they are
given different names. Remove the names, there is only one Consciousness in
every individual. Supposing you name this object (showing a handkerchief) as
Atma. It is a handkerchief in common parlance. I can call it threads or cotton.
But essentially it is an object. Whatever name I may give, it refers to the
same one object. There is only one Atmic consciousness in every individual. It
has no form; it only assumes different forms. (Divine Discourse, Oct 21, 2003)
