Why Atma was sent away from Parmatma ?
For a long time, I was trying to search answer for the question, why Parmatma seprated some of its parts as atma and sent them away. Today, I got the answer. Becasuse God is nothing but love. Since God wanted more love, so it divided itself into numerous small part(atma)s. Since love is not possible in a single entity. It needs at least two. Only then it can exist. This explanation was unavailable in spiritual theory till now. Neither Kabir, nor Nanak and none of Sadguru has answered this question explicitly. But it can be derived. Is’nt it ?

SNEHA JI, IT IS BELIEVED THAT ATMA IS A REFLECTION OF PARAMATMA IN OUR HEART. THE REFLECTION IS THAT OF THE SUN IN WATER. ALTHOUGH REFLECTION OF THE SUN IS SEEN IN WATER, HE IS AWAY IN THE SKY AND NOT IN WATER. SIMILARLY, ATMA IS AS MUCH AS IT IS SEEN, IT IS BEYOND ALL THAT AND NOT LIMITED BY IT.
It is obvious from the post that you have not studied Nanak, Kabir and others. So, you are not competent to question or pass judgements on them. Do post your reply so that we can have further dialogue.
If Hindu scriptures are your accepted authority, Atman and ParaMatman are originless and endless and coexist. ParaMatman grace to the deserving Atman, Atman gets Moksha-states of Salukya, in the abode of the Brahman; Sayujya, union with the Brahman; Sadharma, auspicious qualities of Brahman. Atman desires experiences of other lokas and becomes caught in the cycles of birth and death to the forms taken to experience due to Karmic dharma. Aatman realizes and prays Brahman’s grace for ending the Karma phala and cycles of birth and deaths. If the scriptures are not accepted authorities for you, you can choose to be in cycles of imaginations, conclusions and beliefs.
