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
