Premise: Ātman ( [ ˈɑːtmən ] ) is a Sanskrit word that means inner self or soul . In Hindu philosophy , especially in the Vedanta school of Hinduism , Ātman is the first principle , the true self of an individual beyond identification with phenomena , the essence of an individual . In order to attain liberation ( moksha ) , a human being must acquire self-knowledge ( atma jnana ) , which is to realize that one 's true self ( Ātman ) is identical with the transcendent self Brahman . The six orthodox schools of Hinduism believe that there is Ātman ( soul , self ) in every being , a major point of difference with Buddhism , which does not believe that there is either soul or self .
Hypothesis: Ātman is in a religion.
