Whoever sees in every being that sameAtman, and whoever sees everything inthat Atman, he never goes far from thatAtman. When all life and the whole
universe are seen in this Atman, thenalone man has attained the secret. Thereis no more delusion for him. Where is anymore misery for him who sees thisOneness in the universe ?
