In our last class, we have completed the very first mantra. This Upanishad contains only four mantras and each mantra is fairly quite long. We can even say every mantra is equivalent to at least four to five smaller mantras or verses. So the question was, what is the goal of life? It is to know who we really are, who I am really.
