What should we know but truth?

                            What should we know but truth?    

How can a man speak the truth, without knowing it. Man speaks what he knows. Therefore know.

Thinking, man knows; unthinking, he cannot know. Therefore think.

With faith, man thinks; faithless, he cannot think. Therefore have faith.

From devotion, man gets faith; without devotion, he has none. Have devotion.

When man acts, he gets devotion; without action, he has none. So Act.

Man acts when he gets happiness; without happiness, he does nothing. Find happiness.

Man gets happiness from the unlimited; from the limited, none. Find the unlimited.

Where man finds a thing, sees nothing else, hears nothing else, knows nothing else, that is the unlimited; where he finds a thing, sees something else, hears something else, knows something else, that is the limited.

The unlimited is immortal; the limited is mortal.
The unlimited depends on nothing.

-From Chandogya Upanishad
