Ātmasatya (आत्मसत्य) refers to the “truth of the self”, according to the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā 3.31-32.—Accordingly, while discussing duality and mental activity: “All this duality which is [comprising of] whatever is moving and motionless is [just] a visible object of the mind. For when [the state of] no-mind of mind [arises], duality is not perceived. [Why is this?] When the mind does not conceptualize because [one has] realized the truth of the self (ātmasatya), then, it goes to the state of no mind. Therefore, in the absence of perceivable objects, there is no perception [of duality]”.
