| You
are the pure Self (Shuddhatma). Who else remains within? Who carries out
the subtle internal activities? The pratishthit atma does it all.
Pratishthit atma is the result of karma caused in your previous life. The
pratishthit atma is the result of those beliefs that were projected and
installed in your past life. How was this pratishtha done? The beliefs of
‘I am Chandubhai’, ‘this is my body’, ‘this is my mind’, ‘I
am the doer of whatever I have accomplished’; these are all pratishthas.
This then becomes the pratisthit soul that returns in the body at birth.
It is also known as a superimposed self. It superimposes itself
everywhere. Since the incorrect belief of one’s identity prevails,
throughout life and at the time of death, simultaneously and most subtly,
another pratishthit atma is being created.
How can anyone understand or know this?
