What is the knowledge that we must strive to attain? Bhagawan clearly explains to each and every one of us!

The Vedanta declares that he who knows himself, knows all. You should make the right endeavour to know yourself. You can know yourself by developing inner vision rather than outward vision. All sensory activities like sound, smell, touch and taste are only external activities. We delude ourselves into thinking that these activities are real and ruin ourselves ultimately. It is by harnessing the mind that we will be able to realise the Divinity within. Mind is the cause for man’s life, sorrow, joy and liberation as well. It is the mind that makes us oblivious to Divinity and lures us to the enchantments of ‘Jagat’ (world). The very meaning of the word ‘Jagat’ signifies the transient nature of the world, for ‘Ja’ means going, and ‘Gat’ means coming. While the world changes, man remains changeless. The very word ‘Nara’ (man) means the ‘one who is imperishable’ for, ‘Na’ means ‘not’ and ‘Ra’ means perishable. It is the self in man which is imperishable, for man is the Self.
