We are really the atman or Divinity with an outer covering of the physical body inside which is subtle body consisting of the mind and the intellect.Tat Tvam Asi is a great Upanisadic sentence exhorting us to realise our own divine identity. To realise our own divine identity. To realise one`s own divine status, to realise the same divine status in all forms manifest in the universe is to realise the oneness of all beings.
