“Veda is Total Knowledge, and Veda is the nature of the Self, and bliss is the nature of the Self.”
Context: And it’s completely not necessary for anyone to make mistake because everyone’s Self is Total Knowledge, Veda. Veda is Total Knowledge, and Veda is the nature of the Self, and bliss is the nature of the Self. And even in the outside world everyone wants to move in the direction of greater joy.
