The seekers' aim is the search for the ultimate truth or Brahman. The search to find the non-dualistic or Advaitic truth that in actuality never was lost, only hidden.
Upanishad aspiration is best expressed in the following sutra: ~
OM Asato ma sad gamaya, tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, mrityor ma aamritaam gamaya. Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
"OM Lead me from ignorance to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality. Peace, Peace, Peace" (Bruhad Aranyaka Upanishad (1/3/28)).
The Soul, the Self is ever free.
How could the free ever be bound?
It was never bound. Only within the illusion of form, time, and space is it bound. From the standpoint of the Soul, the Self, the form, time, and space are merely an illusion.
How could the unlimited ever be limited by anything?
Infinite divided by infinite, added to infinite, multiplied by infinite remains infinite. The invisible Soul, the Self, is infinite. The Soul, the Self, is God in truth. God in truth, is infinite. There cannot be two existences, only one. The Infinite can never be made finite. The Soul, the Self, is never bound.
Realizing the Soul as the Self, the Soul is free already. Through Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana, the goal is reached -- all there is to reach. ~ Santthosh Kumaar
