Ethical Values in Sankara's VIIVEKA CHUDAMANI: Atman -Other than five kosas
- The Atman is self - effulgent and distinct ftom the five sheaths. it is witness of the three states, is Real, without modifications, is unsullied and bliss everlasting. The wise man should realise It as his own Self,(211)
- Through an extreme subtle intellect realise this Atman, the Knower, to be that by which all modifications like ego, as well as their absence during deep sleepare perceived, but which itself is not perceived(214)
- This Atman is witness of Itself, for it is realised only by Itself. Hence, the Atman Itself is the Supreme Brahman and nothing else(216)
- That which clearly manifests Itself in the waking, dream and deep sleep states that which is perceived inwardly in various forms by the mind as a series of unknown impressions of the ego; which witnesses the ego ,the intellect, etc. which are of different forms and modifications, which is felt as Existence Knowledge Absolute, know this Atman, within your heart(217)
