The following lines have been taken from the AGNI PURAAN:

 

The king answered, "I fail to understand. Surely the form in which you are now

existing is who you

 

are."

 

"No," said Bharata. "I am the atman and the atman is the same as the paramatman.

The

 

paramatman is everywhere and therefore, the atman is also everywhere. I am

everywhere. I am

 

in all physical bodies. It is meaningless to ask who you are and who I am. We

are all one and the

 

same. Wood has come from the trees and this palanquin is made of wood. But is

the palanquin

 

wood or tree? When you ride on the palanquin, does anyone say that you are

riding on a tree?

 

Men, women, cows, horses, elephants, birds and trees, these are all meaningless

names. They

 

are all illusions. Everything is one and the same. I am everywhere. If there had

been a place or

 

an object where I do not exist, I could have everywhere, I do not know how to

answer your

 

question. Tell me king, are you your head or your stomach? Or is all of it, you?

But then, what will

 

you call that which is distinct from your physical body? Think about what I have

said."

 

 

 

 

 

We are all Atman.....which is nothing but the paramatman...........so we are all

the same atman........so how do our souls differ after death........how come

each soul is an individual atman .........is it due to each persons

consciousness of that atman....??

 

So that means that even after our death we are the same atman....but due our

different conciousness we are different individuals.
