Does any change take place in the life of the sadhaka who realises Iswara?  The answer comes..

Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 28

Kainkaryam to Rama Paduka

Samam pashyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam iswaram I
Na hinatasti atmana atmanam tatah yati param gatim II
समम् पश्यान्  हि सर्वत्र सम वस्थितम् इश्वरम् I 
न हिनातसि  आत्मान आत्मानं ततः यति परम् गतिं 

Seeing the ruler (self) abiding alike in every place, he does not injure the self by the self (mind)  and therefore reaches the supreme goal.

Ignorance is the cause of all evils committed by man. And the worst of all evils is the belief that man is the body and not the atman. For continuity of births is kept up by this belief. As long as he wallows in this delusion, he can not help meeting with death repeatedly. The indestructible atman is held by him as being destroyed by death. Due to ignorance man further believes that beings are separate, one from another. Injury is done to the others because of teh belief that they are separate. Whereas the knower of the Brahman beholds him in and through all the manifestations and that is the supreme goal while yet in the body.
When the nest is dismantled the bird flies away in the sky. Similarly when the body -consciousness is negated and attachmnt in the world annihilated, the jivatman flies away  to Paramatman
