When for the discerning one all beings have become the very Ātman — what delusion, what sorrow is left for him who beholds that oneness?

The seventh mantra carries the sixth to its limit: when for one who has understood, all beings have become the Ātman itself — "what delusion then, what sorrow?" moha (delusion) and śoka (sorrow) are the two inseparable shadows of a separated existence: delusion takes what is another's for one's own, sorrow laments the loss of what was never one's own at all. Both die together with their cause — the illusion of being cut off from the Lord and from His family of beings.
It is important to catch the word vijānataḥ — "for the discerning one": vi-√jñā means "to know by distinguishing". The oneness of which the mantra speaks is the sight of one spiritual nature and one Master of everything, not the erasure of distinctions: the Upaniṣad itself, from its very first word, distinguishes the Lord from the world, the Giver from those who receive their share. Oneness here is like the oneness of a garden: one gardener, one soil and countless living flowers; he who has beheld that ekatvam ceases to see the world as a field of rivalry and is therefore free both from blindness and from grief.
The Bhagavad-gītā (18.54) describes the same state: brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śocati na kāṅkṣati / samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu — one who has realised his spiritual nature "neither grieves nor hankers, and is equally disposed towards all beings"; and it is out of that clarity, the verse continues, that supreme devotion is born — mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām. Freedom from sorrow is not the end of the path but its pure beginning.
