Swami Shraddhananda

 

According to the Upanishad, all people are trying to find their true Self. We are the totality of everything, but because we do not know it, we run after desires, any kind of desires. We are running after desires because we do not know  our eternal reality, our perfection. All the time we are really seeking our Self. The goal is to know that we already are everything. In this verse it says, ‘He who knows Brahman.’ Here, Brahman is used in the sense of the greatest. To know the greatest is the supreme goal of life.
