The ultimate goal, as detailed in Chapter 19, is the attainment of the Supreme Self, a state of eternity, fearlessness, liberation, and independence. This is described as reaching the Purusha, or the Supreme Being, which is the Pure Brahman—a state where the senses and mind find complete rest. This is considered the fulfillment of the soul and the primary duty of human birth. However, the path to this attainment is also specified. The text states clearly that there can be no liberation without knowledge, and knowledge is not attained without detachment. This detachment arises when the mind truly perceives the world as transient, thus sparking the journey toward the Supreme Self.
