Atman is ever the subject and never the object.
This viveka is very essential to remove the confusion sorrounding atma.
Atma is not the body, atma is not any of the thoughts.
Atma is not hiding behind the thoughts, like some hidden object either.
Atman is in fact independent consciousness principle, self existent, self evident, and everything becomes evident in presence of atman.
Atman alone lends presence to body mind complex, to the rest of the jagad.
While the vichara aound atman is taking place in the mind, the atman itself is free from the mind, it is free from any vichara also, it is free from the entire waking world, dream world as well as from sleep.
This completely free atman, alone is what appears as the jagad.
It appears to have manifest and resolving back into unmanifest, mithya in terms of reality.
Consciousness atman is satyam, jagad is mithya superimposition on atman.
This superimposition makes it look like one is playing roles and there is a world to deal with.
In reality I am and there is no world in me. While the world does not exist apart from me, in me there is no world.
