− | Atman (Samskrit : आत्मा) is one of the primary teachings of the [[Upanishads (उपनिषदः)|Upanishads]] along with [[Brahman (ब्रह्मन्)|Brahman]], [[Maya (माया)|Maya]] and Karma. The eternal question, the mystery of death is solved by the Upanishads. They state that the inmost core of every person is not the body, nor the mind, nor the ego, but Atman (referred to as Soul or Self). Atman is the adhyatmik essence in all creatures, their real innermost essential being. It is eternal, ageless. Atman is that which is described at the deepest level of one's existence. | + | Atman (Samskrit : आत्मा) is one of the primary teachings of the [[Upanishads (उपनिषदः)|Upanishads]] along with [[Brahman (ब्रह्मन्)|Brahman]], [[Maya (माया)|Maya]] and [[Karma (कर्म)|Karma]].
