Katha Upanishad 3.11
advanced
महतः परमव्यक्तमव्यक्तात्पुरुषः परः। पुरुषान्न परं किञ्चित्सा काष्ठा सा परा गतिः॥

mahataḥ paramavyaktamavyaktātpuruṣaḥ paraḥ | puruṣānna paraṃ kiñcitsā kāṣṭhā sā parā gatiḥ ||

""Beyond the great Self is the Unmanifest; beyond the Unmanifest is the Purusha (Supreme Person). Beyond the Purusha there is nothing. That is the end, that is the supreme goal.""

What This Means:

The hierarchy continues: beyond the individual self is the Unmanifest (prakriti), beyond that is Purusha (pure consciousness). Nothing is beyond That.

Going Deeper:

Purusha is the final reality - pure awareness before any manifestation. This is the ultimate goal of spiritual seeking.

How To Apply This:

There is an end to seeking. Purusha - pure awareness - is the final destination, nothing beyond.
