The perfected ones have abandoned the illusion of duality of
the observer and the object, and the consequent movement of thought. Their gaze
is fixed and unwinking.
Though these sages are active in this world, they do not
entertain the least notion of illusory existence.
They are firmly rooted in the abandonment of the relationship
between the knower and the known.
Their consciousness is absolutely pure, purified of all
images, concepts and notions.
