How Far Can One Go?

Bhagavan Shree Krishna makes this point clear in the Gita. One cannot go far in one's life or two- say of 100 or 200 years. Whatever accrued continues as credit at balance in the jiva's account (B/F). The jiva must first start the journey in this direction of 'emancipation'. Many even do not know this and not even interested to know. Only those who take to Shandilya or Patanjali yoga sutras or the Gita will ever begin this journey. One may hope to reach a certain point after making a long steady progress in this direction. 
    How far one can go? There is no limit since 'brahmn' is the limit and nobody knows what is it and where it is! However, it is certain that one can reach there. The tricky question is that of 'Where' or 'There'. Just remove the letter W and T and see the answer! This 'brahmn' is not somewhere, but is 'here' only. That is why some knowledgeable persons say, "There is nowhere to go and nothing to do"! This 'brahmn' is not something to be attained, realized, or to be reached after a long journey. It is just realization of what one is- it is 'That' ('tyat'). This realization will put an end to the search and the journey in pursuit. This is stated as: aham brahmasmi
