The Upanishads

The Knower of Brahman

Characteristics of one who has realized the Self.

The knower of Brahman is free from fear, desire, and grief. Seeing the Self in all, such a one lives in natural peace, compassion, and wisdom.

What delusion, what sorrow can there be for one who sees unity?

Isha Upanishad, Isha Upanishad 7

The sage embodies the fruit of Self-knowledge.
