⭐ 'The Atman or God, a central concept in Hindu philosophy, represents the inner self or soul, an eternal, unchanging essence that resides within every individual. Unlike the physical body, mind, and ego, which are subject to change and decay, the Atman is considered the true essence of an individual, pure, infinite, and indivisible. It is the ultimate reality within, mirroring the Brahman, the universal consciousness or the ultimate reality that pervades the entire universe.
The journey of spiritual growth in Hinduism is largely focused on realising the Atman's true nature, transcending the illusion of separateness (Maya) and achieving unity with the Brahman. This realisation, known as self-realisation or Atman-Brahman unity, is the pinnacle of spiritual achievement, leading to liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (Samsara), and the attainment of eternal bliss.'
