An atma can never be cut with a weapon, nor can it be burnt, wet, or withered by the wind. This is why it is commonly associated with a lamp's flame. During Pujas, a typical ceremonial object that mimics the atma, which lives at the center of the body, is the Aatma Diya, a type of lamp with a center wick in the shape of a nozzle. These Aatma Diyas are frequently fashioned to seem like other mystical things. This brass Diya is shaped like a lotus, which represents knowledge and spirituality. The link between the Aatma Diya and the lotus is that as the Aatma burns in the fire of meditation, it acquires wisdom and flowers like a lotus.
