What does Paramatma mean?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Paramatma is the essence of existence that transcends understanding; to reach it, one must surrender through love, for the divine speaks the language of the heart, not the intellect."
According to Osho, Paramatma is the dimension of existence that lies beyond the limits of understanding—the unknown and ultimately unknowable. It is not a person or an object of thought. Intellect can grasp matter, not God; the doorway to Paramatma is love, a heartful, ecstatic surrender. Each sense has its proper domain; for the divine, cultivate feeling, silence, and devotion rather than argument.
Paramatma means what’s too big for the mind to figure out; you meet it not by thinking but by loving with your heart.
