If I use this command and viualize processed trajectory in VMD will it tell me
the water molcule which
I have selected by closest command are actualy present closest to mask atom.
Since in every frame water molecules are changing.

Here my aim is to identify water molecule near to mask atom and do MMPBSA on
considring these water molecules.

So I am confused here either to use above command or use VMD to identify that
water molecule since water moleclue
cahnging in each frame.

Yes you are right I have used the wrong approach. Actualy I have selected water
molecule at zero frame in VMD for visualizing it upto last frame later I
realized that water molcule were changing
in each frame.
