This world is not seen by the ignorant and the wise in the same light. To one who has attained Self-knowledge, this world does not appear as real, but as the one infinite and indivisible consciousness.
Gnani or liberated person has reached the state of oneness in the midst of diversity.
Gnani observes nonduality in the midst of duality.
For Gnani neither sacrificial fires, nor Tapas, nor bounteous gifts nor holy waters have any meaning. He is replete with wisdom.
Gnani is desireless and in his eyes, there is nothing supernatural. His state is indescribable and yet he will move in the world like anybody else.
Gnani will not be bound by any longings after Karmas. He will be indifferent to arising from good or bad results of Karma.
Gnani is the same
whether he moves into a family or is a solitary recluse.
Gnani feels
unbound by the delusions of the region and religious scriptures.
Gnani is in
the one Reality of Atman. He is neither clingy nor arrogant. He has no
fear of anyone, no anger against anyone.
When the attraction towards external objects ceases, then there yet
remains the internal craving which is called thirst. A Gnani is beyond thirst, he
does not even long for salvation. He is content
A Gnani will
always transact his present duties, but neither longs for things in the future nor ruminates upon things of the past.
Gnani is a child amongst children; as old men amongst the old; as the puissant amongst the puissant; as a youth amongst the young, compassionate and understanding with the grieved. In him is found nobleness, benevolence, love, clearness of intellect. :~Santthosh Kumaar
