Brahmabhūta (ब्रह्मभूत) refers to “(having attained) the absolute”, according to the Bhagavadgītā verse 6.25cd-27.—Accordingly: “Having fixed the mind on the self, [the Yogin] should think of nothing whatsoever. Wherever the fickle and unsteady mind moves, there, having restrained it, he should direct it [back] to the self. For, supreme [transcendental] happiness approaches that untainted Yogin whose mind is tranquil and his restiveness quelled, [because he has] attained the absolute (brahmabhūta)”.
