The Supreme Self

A discourse on the nature of the Supreme Self and the So'ham mantra.

"He is Sarvātmā, the Self of all. What you think that 'I am'—you are not that one. That is He."

"Therefore, it is So'haṁ, Haṁso, So'haṁ, So'haṁ, So'haṁ. 'I am That,' 'That I am.' The mantra is So'haṁ."

The speaker elucidates the identity of the individual self with the universal Self (Sarvātmā), explaining that one's true nature is not the limited ego but the supreme reality. This truth is encapsulated and expressed through the repetition and meaning of the So'ham (I am That) mantra.

He is Sarvātmā, the Self of all. What you think that "I am"—you are not that one. That is He. Therefore, it is So'haṁ, Haṁso, So'haṁ, So'haṁ, So'haṁ. "I am That," "That I am." The mantra is So'haṁ. That is why we say So'haṁ, Haṁso, and this mantra expresses, "I am That." Hence, the mantra So'haṁ says, "I am That, That I am."
