This differentiates the Soul (Jivatma) and the Supreme Spirit (Paramatma or Holy<br />
Spirit). Thus within the body we have the Soul or Jivatma and even within that within<br />
the secret place is the Spirit that is within man, part of the Holy Spirit of God.<br />
The word paramātma is formed from two words, parama, meaning "supreme" or<br />
"highest", and ātma, which means spirit which is usually translated as Self or Soul<br />
The word “Paramatman” which word also expresses Boundless Life, Boundless<br />
Consciousness, Boundless Substance in Boundless Space, is meant the Atman of all<br />
atmans or the Supreme Self or the Universal Self. The word “Atman” which literally<br />
means non-darkness or light is Brahman the subtlest indestructible Divine existence.<br />
The word “Paramatman” refers to the component of the Creator, which is a Spirit.<br />
Hence I translate it as the Holy Spirit of God.<br />
