Who sees the many and not the one, wanders on from death to death. Even by the mind this truth is to be learned: there are not many but only one. Who sees variety and not the unity wanders on from death to death.

Upanishad
About This Quote

The greatest truth in life is that there is only one. The many things in our lives will not be enough to keep us going when we are down, they will only keep us going up when they are down. It is a truth that needs to be learned by everyone. When we see the many and not the one, we separate ourselves from the unity of life. We can live on from death to death if we do not see the unity in our lives, but when we do see it, we will be united with all of life and can live forever.
