Today is a Special Day
A spiritual discourse on the significance of a specific date and the nature of the Self.
"Today is a special day. While every day is special, according to numerology, today holds particular significance: 7.07.2007."
"It is the jīvātmā—the individual soul—that takes birth and dies, that travels. But the soul is not ātmā. The soul is individual, while ātmā is universal."
The speaker begins by analyzing the numerology of the date 7.07.2007, explaining how its digits reduce to the number 5, representing the five elements. The discourse then shifts to a profound discussion on ātmā (the universal Self), describing it as an eternal, indestructible void, and distinguishing it from the individual soul (jīvātmā) that undergoes birth and death.
