Ananya

Used as a word for a wise person, someone who sees no other, someone who has ananya manasa, a focused, distraction-free, equanimous mind who sees others as himself, and therefore loves everything as himself and naturally (non-dual devotion) and does not experience any real otherness.

Extended definition:

ananya
No different (not anya, an-anya). Non-different. Unique, no otherness whatsoever (ananyatvam). The equality lies in the fact that everything and everyone is one and the same awareness.
