What does ATMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
The Sanskrit term for the true, unchanging self that Hindu philosophy places beneath the body, mind, and personality.
Much of Vedantic philosophy is built around the claim that the atman is ultimately identical with Brahman, the ground of all reality. Buddhism took the opposite position, teaching the doctrine of anatta, or "no-self," which denies that any such permanent atman exists at all. The word is used in English mainly in writing about Indian philosophy and comparative religion rather than in everyday speech.
