By realising the absolute nature of the Self (puruṣa), one achieves freedom from the guṇas (the fundamental attributes that cause desire). This is the highest kind of non-attachment. Knowing this, one can differentiate between that which can exist on its own, and that which depends on something other than itself to exist.

The true me; which is neither the body, which is in the waking state, it is not the dreaming mind, nor it is the ignorant deep sleep stage. It is pure consciousness – the fourth, which is what I truly am.
