The Śvetāśvataropaniṣad declares:
एको हि रुद्रो न द्वितीयाय तस्थुः (Śv. U. 3.3)
"Eko hi Rudro na dvitīyāya tasthuḥ"
– There is only ONE Rudra; no second exists.
ईशं तं ज्ञात्वा अमृताः भवन्ति (Śv. U. 3.7)
"Īśam taṁ jñātvā amṛtāḥ bhavanti"
– By knowing the Lord, one attains immortality.
This retreat is carefully designed to understand and implement the sādhana required to achieve this lofty goal of amṛtatva (immortality).
As the Bhagavad Gītā (11.54) states, spiritual success is:
"ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप"
"Jñātuṁ draṣṭuṁ ca tattvena praveṣṭuṁ ca parantapa"
– To know, to see, to enter, and to become one with the One.
