The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana.
The Self is all-pervading, infinite, Sat-chit-ananda, and eternal. It does not possess the qualities of buddhi.
It does not undergo transformation and other shadbhava vikaras (six-fold change). It is by the Self-illumination of Atma that the whole universe is illumined. It is one without a second. It has got attributes of truth and wisdom. It is unattached. It is the Supreme Lord, unseen. This Atman can be known by intuition.
When one realizes the truth of unity between jivatma and paramatma either by instruction from the Guru or from texts, that very moment the source of ignorance along with the cause and effect will mingle with paramatma. The state mentioned above is called moksha. The Self is ever-free.
The body is said to the root of the tree of samsara. Through this body, the Self comes into contact with sons and other relations. If the body is non-existent, how can there be relations for the Self, which is unattached, with sons and other relations?
