The Indwelling Spirit: Jivatman and Paramatman
Two beautiful-winged birds, knit together by love, friends, have found their abode in the same tree. One of them eats the sweet pippala fruit; the other, that does not eat, looks on.
There is the lotus that is nine-petalled body of man, enclosed within triple bands, in which dwells the Spirit with the Atman. Knowers of the Veda know that.
The Atman is desireless, firm, immortal, self-existent, contented with the essence, lacking nothing. One does not fear death who has known Him, the Atman, serene, ageless, youthful.
May all my limbs remain unimpaired and my soul unconquered.
There is the Light of Lights which is my inner being. The peerless spirit within living beings - the immortal light.
The ears open to hear, my eyes open to see. The Light that is hidden within my spirit shines beyond it. My mind roams with its thoughts in the distance. What shall I speak and what really shall I think?
