Dear Swamiji, Namaskarams! I am interested in VEDANTA wherein it mentions that we tend to falsely identify ourselves with the limited Body, mind, intellect(jeevatma). Whereas, we are truly that unlimited atman(Brahman). As a seeker, seek clarification on the subject with reference to body. Assuming an individual has a physical problem,then only that single individual undergoes bodily pain and also if any other individuals has a bodily problem, then he is not affected by it. In that case how can we understand that we are truly that Brahman! Seek your valuable guidance on the same. Hari Om!

Your confusion is….. what is the Universal part of our being and what is limited? The body is just a heap of food, so it is essentially panchabhootas. Breath is air, so merges with the outside air when you go. These two components of your existence are hence part of the cosmic world. The subtler parts of you, your mind(jeevathma), your budhi, and your athma are part of a conscious entity. This conscious energy is present in everything both living and non-living, even at a subatomic level. For eg. The way the electrons, protons etc. behave in an atom is decided by an intelligence. This all pervading Supreme intelligence is what you share with everything, not the body. So bodily experiences are limited. The mental experiences are also limited until you identify the Universal soul in you and perfect your thoughts to reach that Divine level. Vedanta is the science of the mind and its source. Hari Om.
