naivendriyāņi visayesu niyunkta eşa naivopayunkta upadarśanalakṣaṇasthaḥ naiva kriyaphalamapiṣadapekṣate saḥ svānanda-sandra-rasapāna-sumattacittaḥ ||
His mind full of the ecstasy of drinking the elixir of his bliss, he does not direct his organs towards senseobjects, nor does he use them (for anything else) he being merely an unconcerned spectator, and he does not care even in the least for the fruits of actions.

Giving up all thought of what should be known or not, he who remains as the sole ātman is verily Siva Himself, and he is the superior Brahmavit indeed.

Even while alive, he is ever free; he is a Brahmavittama having realised his life's purpose; by the destruction of the upadhis, he is Brahman alone; and he attains (experiences) the non-dual Reality that is Brahman.

The actor is always the same man whether he puts on the attire of his part or does not. So, too, the pre-eminent Brahmavit is always Brahman and not anything else.
