He who is without attachment, free, his mind centered in wisdom, his actions, being done as a sacrifice, leave no trace behind. All bonds of a philanthropic person who is free from attachment, whose mind is fixed in Self-knowledge, and who does work as a service to the Lord dissolves away.Rate this question:

The Saint who realises the unity of life and who worships God in all beings, lives in God always. He is the perfect saint who, taught by the likeness within himself, sees the same Self everywhere, whether the outer form be pleasurable or painful. When the mind is firmly fixed on the non-dual One and the conception of duality is put down, then he sees this
universe as a dream through his union with the fourth stage.
The Prophet/Self Realized Soul is Father(the creator/manifestor); the Prophet/Self Realized Soul is Holy Spirit(the preserver); the Prophet is the Son(the transformer of the universe); the Prophet alone is the Supreme Brahman, The Absolute. To Him, the great Enlightened Self Realized Souls and Prophets chosen and sent by the Godhead, I offer my salutation.Rate this question:
