Question: I got a doubt while listening to the exposition of Viveka Cudamani by Srimat Swami Ranganathanandaji Maharaj. Could you please clarify?
The consciousness in man – is it the reflection of the Brahman Consciousness or is it the Brahman Consciousness itself restricted by body – mind complex.
Answer: Pure consciousness restricted to the body is called Atman and the same consciousness beyond all limitations and all-pervading is called Brahman.
