"When  the  Sages  have  attained  the  Atma  ( Paramatma )  they  become  satisfied  with  their  knowledge,  their  purpose  is  fulfilled,  they  become  free  from  desire  and  they  gain  tranquillity."

"Having  attained  the  all - pervading  Atma  ( Parmatma )  everywhere,  the  wise,  thereafter  devoted  to  the  Self,  enter  into  everything."

Next : Discussion-1. "Last two  mantra-s  explained  that  realisation of Self  is  very  difficult- if  so  why  go  for  that  .... this  is  answered  in  this  mantram"
