Commentary
He who has dissolved all duality in the underlying unity; who is thus established in unity; who worships Me; i.e.; who has realised Me as the Self of all; dwells always in Me; whatever his mode of living may be. He is ever liberated. Sadana lived in God though he was a butcher because his mind was ever fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.
