आत्मवत् सर्वभूतेषु यश्नरेन्नियत: शुचि: । अमानी निरभीमान: सर्वतो मुक्त एव सः
ātmavat sarvabhūteṣu yaśnarenniyataḥ śuciḥ | amānī nirabhīmānaḥ sarvato mukta eva saḥ ||
برہمن نے کہا: جو ضبط و طہارت کے ساتھ سب بھوتوں میں اپنے ہی مانند دیکھے، جو عزت کا طالب نہ ہو اور تکبر سے پاک رہے—وہ ہر پہلو سے آزاد ہی ہے۔

Educational Q&A
Liberation is characterized by ethical universality and inner humility: disciplined purity, empathy toward all beings (treating them as oneself), and freedom from the craving for honor and from pride.
A brāhmaṇa is instructing the listener on the marks of a truly free person, defining liberation not as status or ritual display but as a stable inner condition expressed through compassionate conduct and absence of ego.
