The regard and awareness of the body in every jivatma is always strong and even eclipses the presence of the atma. A mumukshu leads life in the hope that the ‘I’, the atma, would henceforth gain freedom from further birth. So, the way to salvation is by dissociating the atma from sarira and karma. Srishti, stiti and samhara is for the prapancham and for the sarira and not for the atma at any time. The atma is eternal.
