स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम |

भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते || 10.15||

Indeed, You alone know Yourself by Your inconceivable energy, O Supreme Personality, the Creator and Lord of all beings, the God of gods, and the Lord of the universe !

Know Yourself— Since the Lord is endowed with unsurpassed wisdom, sovereignty, and other divine attributes, none else knows all the manifestations of the Lord, much less His unconditioned and transcendent nature.

Through Yourself— Without any outside help.

Supreme Person— Beyond māyā and the three gunas.

The Supreme Truth to be sought after, is described by enlightened ones as Non-dual Consciousness. It is variously called as Brahman (by the Vedantins) as Paramatman (by the votaries of Hiranyagarbha) and as the Bhagavan (by the Bhaktas).

अनादेरपि विध्वंसः प्रागभावस्य वीक्षितः ।
यद्बुद्ध्युपाधिसंबन्धात्परिकल्पितमात्मनि ॥

जीवत्वं न ततोऽन्यस्तु स्वरूपेण विलक्षणः ।
संबन्धस्त्वात्मनो बुद्ध्या मिथ्याज्ञानपुरःसरः ॥200-201ll

Previous non-existence, even though beginningless, is observed to have an end. So the Jīvahood which is imagined to be in the Ātman through its relation with superimposed attributes such as the Buddhi, is not real; whereas the other (the Ātman) is essentially different from it. The relation between the Ātman and the Buddhi is due to a false knowledge.

 The Self is never bound or transformed.

Individuality arises only due to association with the intellect.

This association is not real, only imagined by ignorance.

When ignorance ends, jīva and Brahman are known to be one.
