The Ātman is the Self or Spirit that remains above, pure and stainless, unaffected by the stains of life, by desire and ego and ignorance. It is realised as the true being of the individual, but also more widely as the same being in all and as the Self in the cosmos; it his also a self-existence above the individual and cosmos and it is then called the Paramatma, the supreme Divine Being. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-psychic-being#p39</ref>
==Attachment==
Attachment means that you desire or need or depend on a thing or a person so much that you cannot do without it or him, and are always trying to keep the thing or be with the person or somehow in touch with him. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/inadvisability-of-forming-special-relations#p8</ref>
Attachment to things : the physical rejection of them is not the best way to get rid of it. Accept what is given you, ask for what is needed and think no more of it - attaching no importance, using them when you have, not troubled if you have not. That is the best way of getting rid of the attachment. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/24/transformation-of-the-vital-xi#p20</ref>
