‘How in that place?’ — he says: ‘From what, etc.’ ‘If that Self is full, he is a great soul (mahā‑ātman).’ The word ātman is used in the Bhārata: ‘that which one attains, that which one gives, that which one enjoys’ — whatever is that constant state belonging to him is called ātman. Beyond that is the Supreme, the ever‑existent and the non‑existent and existent world: ‘the world is both non‑existent and existent, yet is beyond both’ (cf. Māṇḍūkya‑Bhāṣya 1.1.23).
