LalithA SahasranAma [672] brahmAtmaikyasvarUpini

[Guest guest]

brahmAtmaikyasvarUpini : The Union of Brahman and Atman.

 

Or, BrahmA, Siva, Atman, jiva, sva, the Hamsamantra, which unites

the sould with Siva; rUpa, is her form. The Su-sam, [iV. 7. 9-

12] :"Or this is Jiva-mantra, and describes the embodied soul, for

by the word "I' is meant jiva. The Sakti- mantra is called Sa and

indicates the supreme Lord. For Paramesvara is known to be in every

object. From the greatest to the smallest the whole universe animate

and inanimate is born, lives and dies in the supreme Lord. The Jiva

[hamsa] who manifests through earthly existence is also the supreme

Lord. I [brahma] also am he, there is no doubt, on the authority of

my own experience"

 

Similarly the Hamsa-mantra which occurs in the Trisati [173] is to

be taken as explained.

She is the Union of Brahma with AtmA, i.e. of the individual soul

with the Cosmic Soul. She is the great culmination; the content of

MahA-VAkyAs such as Aham BrahmAsmi and great Mantras like Soham.
