Chapter 5 provides deep insights into the state of a wise person. It explains that the bodily activities of a wise man occur according to their previous karma, but they are not the doer of these actions and do not feel the burden of destiny’s karma. Their perception of reality is one of non-duality. The text uses a powerful analogy, stating that a wise person would experience duality only if the sun itself could enter darkness. For such a being, whose own form is the entire universe, they reside completely in a state of non-duality, a concept profoundly explored in this chapter.
Based on Chapter 5, how does a truly wise person, or 'jñāni', experience karma and perceive reality?
