Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**The summit of Upaniṣadic teaching<br> This name is one of the most profound in the entire Sahasranāma and deserves extended contemplation. The Upaniṣads consistently distinguish between the ‘jīvātmā’ (individual self, seemingly bound, subject to birth and death) and the ‘Paramātmā’ (the Supreme Self, eternally free, omniscient, omnipresent). Viṣṇu IS the Paramātmā — not merely an external deity but the innermost ground of every soul's existence. **Three seats of the Self<br> The Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad (3.1.1–2) gives the celebrated image of two birds on the same tree — one eating the fruits (the jīvātmā, experiencing pleasure and pain), the other merely witnessing (the Paramātmā). The Bhagavad Gītā (13.22) calls the Paramātmā in the body ‘"upadraṣṭā anumantā ca bhartā bhoktā maheśvaraḥ"‘ — the witness, the permitter, the supporter, the experiencer, and the great Lord. **Bhāgavata Purāṇa (1.2.11)<br> The celebrated ‘"vadanti tat tattva-vidas"‘ verse identifies three designations of the one non-dual truth — Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān — corresponding to the Advaita, Yoga, and Bhakti realizations respectively.
