What is the state of a perfected being who has realized the oneness of the Self, and how do they interact with the world?

As described in Chapter 14, a perfected being who has realized the oneness of the Self achieves a state of pure knowledge by abandoning attachment to attributes like name and form. Such a person is always engrossed in self-bliss, and the delusions of Maya no longer affect them. Their interaction with the world is beautifully illustrated with an analogy: they are like the moon that appears reflected in water but is, in reality, completely beyond it. Similarly, saints and perfected ones can be surrounded by devotees and worldly activities, but internally they remain entirely detached and merged in their own blissful nature, demonstrating that the Self is full in all beings yet entirely without form.
