Best Answer

Atman is nothing but the Spirit or Soul. It is the life energy that comes to us when we are conceived and departs at death. It is that power in a human being that gives life, energy to the hardware, our body and the software, the mind. It gives us the energy to live, to walk, to talk. When the Soul or Atman departs, there is death, there is no breath. The body decomposes and returns to dust, the mind disappears, it doesn't exist. Whenever we die, the body dies but the ME the Mind and Ego is reborn in a new body based on Karma or our past actions. However if we realize that the ME, the Mind and Ego doesn't exist, it's an illusion born out of ignorance, if we realize we are the Atman, the Spirit, or the Soul then at death, we attain Moksha or Liberation from the cycle of rebirth. We are free from coming back to earth.
