ATMA

The Sanskrit word for Soul. In Hinduism, Atma or soul is the real entity (of the person), manifested in the form of life and that the physical existence is simply the visible person or a kind of external cover to it. As it has originated from Bramhah or the eternity, the Atma never perishes. What we know or perceive as death is simply the end of the body or the visible form or cover of the Atma. The ultimate aim of each and every Atma is to get united with the Bramhah or the eternity itself which is attained by practicing one or the other methods prescribed in multiple religious texts, tenets, treatises and schools of Hindu philosophy, in all cases, by keeping the Atma unaffected, untouched or immune to worldly desires, motives and emotions of all kinds.
