The objective of life is to attain moksha, which is to realize that the self is but a manifestation of the divine and through this experience become one with God. This has been explained in the various Upanishads notably by a seer named Vamadeva. Book 4 of the Riga Veda is largely attributed to Vamadeva. In hymn XXVI of this book Vamadeva writes “I was Manu and now I am the Sun.” Here Manu represents the human self and the Sun represents divinity. This verse describes the experience of moksha.
