Meaning
The sixth pointer gathers the others. The commentary: to say much in little, when living beings let go of the knowable (the seen) and of the mind, the state that remains of itself is the peaceful, highest being, the form of the primal Person. "Of one living" (jīvataḥ) matters: this is not the state of the dead, nor of a stone, but of a living being from whom only the knowable and the mind have been taken away.
