The Upanishad is notable for its description of the nature and life of a self-realized monk called TuriyatitaAvadhuta, literally a totally liberated man, also called a
Avadhuta or Jivanmukta.[4][6][7] Such a person, asserts
the text, is rare.[8] The self-realized individual does not
perform any rituals or rites, nor chant mantras, discriminate against or for others, and is beyond the Turiya state
of consciousness.[4][9] In the Paramahamsa state, he is
devoted to non-dualism, is always soul-driven, is Brahman and syllable Om.[8] The exact distinction between
Paramahamsa, Avadhuta and Turiyatita-Avadhuta states
is obscure, states Patrick Olivelle, but these concepts
represent an attempt in the Hindu traditions to comprehend, rene and describe the inner and outer state of selfrealization and the highest monastic life.[10]
