v 536

 

Oh worldly folk who long for and run after

An endless series of unenduring things

'Tis wisdom true to seek and know

That one thing on knowing which

All other things will cease to be.

 

Questions

What is 'That One Thing' ?

 

is it 'That We Know Nothing?'?

or 'The Self'.?

 

Can the ego ever know the Self?

Any other suggestions?
