Free from pride and delusion, victorious over the evil of attachment, ever dwelling in the Self, with desires extinguished, liberated from the pairs of opposites known as pleasure and pain — the undeluded reach that imperishable state.
The qualifications for reaching the supreme abode are enumerated: egolessness, freedom from delusion and attachment, constant self-abidance, desirelessness, and equanimity toward all dualities. Such an undeluded seeker alone attains the imperishable.
