Mr.Bharath,
So it is your answer and a Trainer and swami Sukhabhodananda appealed to your
mind, so you accept their words as it is.
>From your mail -
"I have been seeing postings with wordings like
Atman,Brahman,Parabrahman,Consciousness,
Super consciousness,Inner consciousness,Inner Integrity,Inner Engineering etc
etc"
Those words appear strange to you, since it is not of your interest.
Each person in the world is unique, and nobody can replace any other, and each
has been meant for something and he has his own place in the society such as
puzzle parts.
You will understand if you can see when the puzzle is cleared, by putting all
parts together. Rather a puzzle is one design; it is not two different things.
Have you ever purchased a puzzle for your children, if you see that it will be
only one picture and there are various parts and one need to arrange in such a
way that you bring the original picture.
Similarly you are part of one whole, if you see yourself as a separate entity
and not part of whole, you will have fear, but if you see yourself as part of
one whole, there will not be fear.
I can simply explain all your "wordings like
Atman,Brahman,Parabrahman,Consciousness,
Super consciousness,Inner consciousness,Inner Integrity,Inner Engineering etc
etc" as your `understanding'.
What is the state of mind when there is understanding of a subject? Mind is
totally receptive and one goes with the word flow and see things, which makes
one understand, this state of mind is what your atman consciousness etc., or
in my words your airing space.
Just think you are on the terrace of your house; can you claim the space above
you is yours? Yes of course we do. Countries claims airing space, they even
prohibit certain airing space such as space above Thirumala is prohibited for
any foreign flight to fly.
So similarly when atman/consciousness is referred to your airing space, what
about other space that surrounds your airing space? First of all is there any
division or boundaries or separators between one countries airing space to
other airing space? No isn't it; There are no real boundaries between one's
airing space and to other's airing space. The space is one. If you look at
undivided space then that is called Brahman ot Papabrahman or super
consciousness.
Best wishes
Suresh
