I will now tell you how one who has reached perfection finds the eternal Brahman - a supreme state of knowledge. Guided by a pure intellect, subdued by steadiness, renouncing all objects of the senses and casting aside both love and hatred, resorting to solitude, eating sparingly, restraining the speech, body, and mind, fully engaged in the practice of yoga and meditation, taking refuge in dispassion, forsaking egotism, violence, arrogance, desire, wrap, and superfluous possessions, free from the concept of "mine", firmly established in tranquility - such a spirit is capable of becoming Brahman.
