Nairatmya

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of the word "nairatmya"? It's a big word, but it's actually a concept that's actually pretty simple.

So, in many cultures and religions, people have this idea of a "soul" or a "spirit". It's like a little piece of you that's special and unique.

In Hinduism, which is a religion practiced by many people in India, they have a word for this soul or spirit called "atman". It's like a little piece of you that's part of a bigger divine energy.

Now, what's interesting is that in some Hindu philosophy, they talk about something called "nairatmya", which basically means "without self". It's like saying that there's this idea that in order to really understand the bigger picture of things, you have to let go of your own personal ideas and thoughts and just be part of the bigger universe.

It's kind of like when you're swimming in a big ocean - you can focus on just yourself and how you're swimming, or you can focus on how you're part of this huge body of water that's all interconnected.

So, nairatmya is this idea that you can let go of your own ego and self-importance and just be part of something bigger. It might feel scary or weird at first, but it can also be really freeing and peaceful.

Does that make sense?
