|| 1.04 | TRUTH & ITS QUEST ||

Whatever system of philosophy may be derived from the Upanishads , the obvious truth goes without saying that they propound a theory that holds Reality to be indivisible , objectless and transcendent .

They assert that belief in diversity is an ignorance of consciousness , and Truth is essentially a boundless Unity .

They lead us from the faulty faith in the objective reality of the universe to an internal search of the veritable Self existing as the finest essence of our being .

And what is even more striking is their untiring insistence on attaining Self-Perfection .

To their immortal honour , they grasped the eternal fact that the knowledge of the Self is the supreme end of life , its only meaning and purpose ever , and that beings exist but for that grand Attainment of Light , Freedom and Immortality !
