By Dr. T. D. Singh (Bhaktisvarüpa Dämodara Swami) and Sadäpüta däsa
The eternal wisdom of the Vedas instructs us that the goal of all knowledge is to break free from the repeated cycle of birth and death. The intelligence of all forms of life below human beings is insufficiently developed to understand the science of self-realization. Therefore the Vedänta-sütra says that in the human form of life one must inquire into the nature of the Absolute Truth.
We must begin by asking such questions as these: “Who am I?” “Where do I come from?” “What is the purpose of my existence?” “How can I get out of the cycle of repeated birth and death?” We should investigate the answers to all these questions very thoroughly. This is the beginning of the science of self-realization, or the science of the study of life.
