One who thus knows his soul, can understand all souls; if he is capable to know one today, he will be able to know the world tomorrow. That happens because truth remains the same, it does not get rusted with the passage of time; our thinking pattern undergoes change.

That truth consists of our soul, our objective in life should therefore be to realize the everlasting soul.
