"In reality this is the real form of detachment and judgement. He who does not see the birth of these aforesaid things within himself cannot realize God", seeing the curiosity of Maitreyi, Yagyavalkya gave her the sermon of the Divine cosmic spirit. He told her that the soul and the cosmic spirit are in reality one and self-realization is a way to realize this entire world. It is defeat to see anything or realize anything other than the soul. All humans take birth from that cosmic soul and that all creatures devoid of the realization of that soul reside in final dissolution and the ignorance. In this way everything is pervaded by the divine cosmic soul. For that person everything is devoid of the doer, the act and the effect. It is not easy to realize the element of the divine soul as that divine cosmic soul is omniscient.

Yagyavalkya and his Material / Spiritual Wives
Yagyavalkya had two wives- Maitreyi and Katyayani. Amongst them Maitreyi had realized the divine cosmic spirit while Katyayani was a woman with ordinary intellect. When Yagyavalkya decided to renounce the world, he decided to divide the property between his two wives. On this Katyayani did not say anything as she was desirous only of physical or material pleasures. Maitreyi commented- "If this entire earth filled with wealth and riches becomes mine, Shall I become immortal?" Listening to this Yagyavalkya replied- "One cannot expect to attain immortality by wealth. But one can enjoy all the physical pleasures like a desirous person." Maitreyi became all the more curious, she asked- "What shall I do by taking that which cannot make me immortal? Tell me something by which I will become immortal?"
