| In Chan. Upan. 7.25, Sanathkumara explains to remove the doubt that Infinite is something other than the Jiva or self. Indiscriminate people also describe the body as 'I', hence to set aside the doubt that 'body' is not Infinite, Sanathkumara proceeds to explain it as "आत्मा or Self". The Self is alone and is all everywhere. He who sees आत्मा or Self all pervading, thinks thus, and understands thus, becomes अात्मरति - one who revels in the Self, अात्ममिथुन - delights in the Self. Such a wise person, even while living is installed as स्वराट् || Svaraat (king of heaven or Self-king). Such a person continues to be independent in all worlds even when his body falls off. | | In Chan.

− | In Chan. Upan. 7.25, Sanathkumara explains that for such a wise one who has attained the Kingdom of Self, everything discussed so far springs from Self - prana, hope, akasa, water, food, strength upto the Name. He who sees thus, sees not death, nor disease, nor pain. He who perceives this, sees all things, and obtains all things in every way. On the purification of food, the inner nature becomes pure, so does the memory becomes firm. On the strengthening of Memory follows the loosening of all ties. | + | In Chan.

Therefore, he is also called as "Skandha." | | In this way Narada maharshi who was freed from attachment, aversion, was taken beyond the darkness of Ignorance by Sanatkumara to be shown the highest Truth.
