All the faculties depend upon this Self (Ātman), just as servants depend upon their master. Just as a master enjoys the services of his attendants, and just as the attendants in turn depend upon and serve their master, so does this Conscious Self (Prajñā Ātman) experience the world through these faculties, and these faculties exist and function through Him. As long as Indra did not realize this Self, he was overcome by the Asuras. But when he came to know the Self, he defeated the Asuras, conquered them, and attained supremacy, self-sovereignty, and lordship among all the gods. In the same way, one who realizes this Self destroys all evil, rises above all limitations, and attains excellence, self-mastery, and sovereignty among all beings. Such is the fruit of this knowledge. He who knows thus, indeed becomes so. Thus ends the Kaushitaki Brahmana Upanishad.
