The Upanishad describes three types of Self : the Bahya-atma or external self (body), the Antar-atma or inner self (individual soul) and the Param-atma or highest self (the Brahman, Purusha).

Tattva (/ ˈ t ʌ t v ə /) is a Sanskrit word meaning 'thatness', 'principle', 'reality' or 'truth'. [5] Samkhya philosophy enumerates only 25 tattvas; twenty-four ātma tattvas along with purusha, which is ātman or the soul. [6]
Katha Upanishad, in Book 1, hymns 3.3-3.4, describes the widely cited proto-Samkhya analogy of chariot for the relation of "Soul, Self" to body, mind and senses.

The text uses similes of yajna (fire) ritual to describe how cosmic processes are repeated in the temple of body, with food as offering, mind the Brahman and seeking of the soul (Atman) as the goal of the ritual of life. [10] [18] The text then abruptly jumps to enumerating anatomy of a developed human body, likely from lost chapters of the ...
The soul does not lose its identity, but only expands into Spirit. In savikalpa samādhi the mind is conscious only of the Spirit within; it is not conscious of the exterior world. The body is in a trancelike state, but the consciousness is fully perceptive of its blissful experience within. [89]
