Paramatma

/puh-ruh-MAHT-mah/

Paramātmā — the divine Presence of God dwelling within the heart of every living being. It is not separate from God but is God Himself in His aspect as the intimate inner witness — closer to you than your own breath, more constant than your own heartbeat. It sees everything, knows everything, and forgets nothing. It is the silent companion that has accompanied you since before birth, witnessing every moment of the journey with perfect clarity. It administers karma and dharma with precise justice — rewarding right action and correcting wrong action — not from a distant throne but from within the very core of your being. Nothing can be hidden from it. Nothing can deceive it.
