Adhyātma Taxonomy: Elements, Faculties, and Guṇas
जिससे यह सम्पूर्ण जगत् व्याप्त है, वह एक परमात्मा ही समस्त चराचर प्राणियोंके भीतर निवास करता है ।। सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि । यदा पश्यति भूतात्मा ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा
sarvabhūteṣu cātmānaṃ sarvabhūtāni cātmani | yadā paśyati bhūtātmā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
جب بھوتاتما سب بھوتوں میں آتما کو اور آتما میں سب بھوتوں کو دیکھتا ہے، تب وہ برہمن کو پا لیتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
Liberation arises from direct realization of non-separateness: seeing the same Self in all beings and all beings in the Self. This vision culminates in attaining Brahman and grounds an ethic of non-harm and universal regard.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Vyāsa states a contemplative criterion for spiritual fulfillment: when one’s perception shifts from division to the all-pervading Self, one reaches Brahman.
