All otherworldly instructing prompts acknowledgment of the Self (atman) as the interminable nearness in all creatures. The Chandogya Upanishad unfurls a story which symbolizes the mission in each being to know reality of the Self and how this can be accomplished in a dynamic way through legitimate direction and with relentless and precise exertion, clarified Sri Mani Dravid Sastrigal in a talk. 
Sage Prajapati once elucidates so anyone might hear the old knowledge in such manner: "The Self is free from malevolent, seniority, passing, distress, appetite and thirst. Its idea and want stand established in the Real. The most elevated objective is to endeavor to comprehend the Self. This learning discharges from servitude and frees." Hearing this, Indra from among the divine creatures and Virochana from the evil spirits autonomously approach Prajapati in the bhava of a pupil, looking for facilitate information.
Following 32 years of gurukulavasa, because of an inquiry from his two supporters whether what is reflected in a mirror or in the water is the Self, Prajapati guides them to investigate a container of water with and without embellishments and is informed that in fact they have seen the Self in the reflections precisely as they may be. Prajapati pronounces: "The Self is in fact found in these. The Self is unfading and courageous, and it is Brahman." Away go the two tremendously satisfied with themselves, while Prajapati laments their failure to recognize the Self from self. They mix up the Self for the individual that is seen and not the individual that sees. 
As the placated Virochana teaches the love of the self as the regulation of the evil spirits, Indra, unsatisfied with the clarification, comes back to Prajapati not once but rather thrice to take in more. The savvy guides Indra well ordered through contemplation, propounding that the body isn't the Self nor is what moves about in dreams. Dreamless and profound rest states can't completely speak to the Self since it exists without the psyche. Achieving the supernatural state alone will come full circle in acknowledgment of the Brahman. The acknowledgment being inconspicuous is to be felt in the internal individual experience. The story outlines that the most elevated information isn't to be picked up at one go.
