sense is it omnipresent? The Atma’ s light illuminates the entire universe, when it is free from the final veil. In such a state, why would it remain in the universe? It goes straight to the Siddhkshetra; location just above the crest of the universe where all liberated souls reside.
The energy; the Self that has the potential to illuminate the entire universe is called swa samvedan shakti. When it does illuminate the entire universe, it is called keval Gnan.

This word‘ agna’ has sprung from within.‘ We’ have added a new one.‘ We’ had to use the word‘ agna’( pronounced ugna) to understand pragnya. Otherwise
