அந்தப் பிரம்மத்தில் புத்தி லயித்து, அந்தப் பிரம்மமே தம் ஆத்மாவாக, அந்தப் பிரம்மத்தில் நிலைபெற்று, அந்தப் பிரம்மமே பரம இலக்காகக் கொண்டவர்கள், ஞானத்தால் பாவங்கள் நீங்கி, திரும்பாத நிலையை அடைகிறார்கள்.
They fix their intellects on Brahman or the Supreme Self. They feel and realise that Brahman is their self. By constant and protracted meditation, they get established in Brahman. The whole world of names and forms vanishes for them. They live in Brahman alone. They have Brahman alone as their supreme goal or sole refuge. They rejoice in the Self alone. They are satisfied in the Self alone. They are contented in the Self alone. Such men never come back to this Samsara, as their sins are dispelled by knowledge (BrahmaJnana). (Cf. IX.34)
