Adishankaracharya’s composition Atma/ Nirvana Shatakam is explained in this 7 part series in a simple manner, bringing forth the profound knowledge of Vedanta to everyone. This is a composition which explores and explains the nature of our true Self, the Aatman.

This 4th part of Nirvana shatkam series looks in detail at verse 3. In the first 2 verses he says that the mind, sense organs, elements, life force, body and it’s functions, are not true nature of the atman. He continues in the 3 rd verse by telling us what the soul’s nature is, as an Aatma-jnyaani, one who has already discovered and experienced the soul. In this 4th verse, he talks about the detached nature of the atmajnyani’s soul. He says that even the most fundamental laws of nature & creation do not affect a self-realised soul.
