Vedas imply knowledge. The Vedas are divided into two major parts. Firstly the Karma Kandya — the portion containing rituals and rites in the Vedas. Secondly the Jnana Kandya — the knowledge portion where the knowledge of the 'Self ' is elaborated. This later part is known as Upanishads or Vedanta.

         Vedanta speaks about the real nature of our Self. It proclaims the oneness of ours with the Soul or Brahman which is of the nature of Existence, Knowledge and Bliss Absolute. But this nature of ours is veiled by ignorance and as a result of which we imagine ourselves to be finite, mortal and week. Realization of the Self which is the essence of Vedanta uproots all such limited and false imaginations of ours and introduces us with our absolute and infinite entity. Realization of this Supreme existence, Brahman or Self puts an end to all the ignorance thereby erasing our limitations, doubts, fears and weaknesses. 'Thou Art That.'
