Episode Synopsis

Though the Atma is all-pervading and the revealer of all, we come to know of it only when it is manifested through a body or an object. It is the Consciousness that reveals the entire object world to us, including our inner thoughts, emotions, etc. What appears in the mind is called a vritti. It can be an object vritti or even a thought about Brahman, which is called brahmaakara vritti. As long as we see them as objects, we miss the Consciousness that reveals them.

When we consciously remove the objects one by one, including the brahmaakara vritti, and all vrittis subside, then alone does the Self reveal itself. In reality, even the nothingness of sleep is revealed by Consciousness. The Self is the ultimate reality.
