Atma bodha is a text prescribed for the Teevra Mumukshu : one who desires liberation in this very birth. For such a committed seeker who is inquiring into the reality of himself and the world, Bhagwan Sri Adi Shankaracharya has elaborated the core Vedantic principles through which one realises the essence of the Self, the ‘Atman’.

Pujya Swami Abhedanandaji describes beautifully what is the nature of Jiva, how action cannot take us to liberation but it is Knowledge alone that ferries the seeker across; and from various other logically irrefutable perspectives by expounding on the Supreme Knowledge.
