People cry when they are born. People cry when they die. People cry even in between for various things. We have, however, to ask, do people cry for obtaining real knowledge about the ultimate? Do they cry for the grace of God? Do they cry for understanding and realising God? In life, it is the desire of every human being to enjoy peace and happiness. But have we made an effort to know the real reason for lack of peace and happiness in our lives? One can be relieved of such lack of peace and happiness when we know what we ought to know, when we forget what we ought to forget and when we reach the destination we ought to reach. What is it that we should forget and we should know? What is it that we should attain? We have to forget the aspect of jiva (individuality). We should know what our true Self is. We have to reach Godhood.
