He who knows the Atman is free from every kind of bondage.
He is the greatest of the great.
The things perceived by the senses cause him neither grief nor pleasure.
He is not attached to them.
Neither does he shun them.
Constantly delighting in the Atman he is always at play within himself.
He tastes the sweet, unending bliss of the Atman
The man of contemplation walks alone.
He lives desireless amidst the objects of desire.
The Atman is his eternal satisfaction.
He sees the Atman present in all things…
He acts, yet is not bound by his actions.
He reaps the fruit of past actions, yet is unaffected by them…
He dwells in the body, but he regards it as a thing apart from himself — like the cast-off skin of a snake...
The illumined soul lives eternally conscious of his oneness with Brahman.
He tastes continually the joy of the Atman, the one
There is neither birth nor death,
neither bound nor aspiring soul,
neither liberated soul nor seeker after liberation— this is
the ultimate and absolute truth.
