ONE ATMAN
In his discussion of Shankara's Crest Jewel of Discrimination, Swami Prabhavananda states, "The Atman that is in me and that is in you, and that is in all things, is not many Atmans but one Atman." This is in the sense that the Atman is the same as Brahman; it is the subjective aspect of Brahman. And there is only one Brahman. He goes on to explain, "Jesus said, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself,' because your neighbor IS yourself," is Atman/Brahman. Everyone and everything is Atman/Brahman.
