I'd also just like to add this note... ātman (soul/Self) is without passion. It has no likes or dis-likes; it is stainless, infinite and breathless.

Dear Yajvan ji,
Believe it or not, upon reading Krishna ji's first post about soul's desire, this was exactly the thought that arose in my mind a lot punier than yours what with your solid dharmic background (or so it appears to me as your background), but then I figured that we all here use Atmaa and Atma kind of interchangeably and somewhat confusingly if not confusedly! There is Soul, there is Self and there is OVERSOUL, to use three separative terms! I understand the latter as GOD, THE ONE SOLE SOUL SOURCE! Soul is a somewhat more individualized fragment of that which many consider as my atmaan, your atmaan etc, that too never dies but carries impressions gathered from birth to birth. And there is the SELF which is a more tangible portion of the individualized soul, and the sense of *I* which is probably the very last or distant thing captured in a horoscope. It is in the context of that I-self that we (or I was) were discussing the 'soul' as utilized by Krishna ji and which I believe, atmakarak represents. In fact, growingly, my understanding is crystallizing that chara karakas are not about people (physical and in flesh) like father, mother, children, colleagues and advisors, spouse, etc etc though named so, but the mental-psychological-?? attributes thereof. I am not yet able to describe exactly those but the words used by me are close to my concepts and conceptualizations of chara karakas at this time!
Regards,
Rohiniranjan
