The self that is identical to universal reality, however, is not the daily self that most of us are aware of: the self that goes to work, gets hungry, eats dinner, and feels happy or sad. It's a self that can only be discerned by looking deeply inside, piercing through all the layers of daily life. It might be difficult to do, but discovering this eternal, unchanging self is seen as the ultimate goal of human existence, allowing a person to merge with divinity.
the self. Not the desire self
