In Brihadaraṇyaka Upanisad, the sage Yajnavalkya told his wife Maitreyi that we should learn about the soul, understand it and meditate on it. For proper understanding of the nature of a thing, help of the Nyaya philosophy is essential. It is said that we suffer misery because we have false knowledge regarding the soul, such as considering the body as soul. When we perceive the error of such a wrong belief, we get true knowledge".
