Atma

Atma refers to the true self or inner essence of a person in many spiritual traditions, especially in Indian philosophy. It is considered the eternal, unchanging core beyond the physical body, mind, and emotions. The Atma is seen as pure consciousness that remains constant through life's experiences. Recognizing and understanding the Atma is often linked to spiritual growth and self-awareness, leading to a sense of inner peace and harmony. It is distinct from the temporary aspects of life and is regarded as the ultimate reality that underlies all existence.
