Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
यदा पश्यति भूतानि प्रसन्नात्मा55त्मनो हृदि । स्वयंज्योतिस्तदा सूक्ष्मात् सूक्ष्मं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्
yadā paśyati bhūtāni prasannātmātmanaḥ hṛdi | svayaṁjyotis tadā sūkṣmāt sūkṣmaṁ prāpnoty anuttamam ||
Vāyu sprach: Wenn ein Yogin, dessen Geist klar und heiter ist, alle Wesen im Herzen seines eigenen Selbst gegenwärtig schaut, dann — aus eigenem inneren Licht leuchtend — erlangt er das unvergleichliche Höchste, feiner als das Feinste.

Educational Q&A
When the mind becomes serene through yoga, one perceives all beings within the inner self (heart-consciousness). This vision culminates in realizing the self-luminous Supreme Reality—described as subtler than the subtlest—indicating liberation through inward clarity and universal, non-separative awareness.
Vāyudeva is instructing about yogic realization: he describes the experiential sign of spiritual maturity—seeing all beings inwardly—and the resulting attainment of the unsurpassed Supreme (Paramātman/Brahman).
