The word atma is derived from the verb Ata- which denotes that which goes on continuously.
Atma is synonymous with the soul and is different from the word self or ego. Self represents the total personality of an individual while ego represents what a person feels about self.
The soul represents the essence of life. Mind, intellect and sense organs are the instruments for acquiring knowledge. Indian philosophers believe that the soul of a living organism is a part of Brahma, the universal soul or life principle.
