The newly graduated boy Shwetaketu thinks he has learnt whatever was there to learn. But his father Uddalaka disagrees. He points out that whatever he studied in school was only worldly science. But there is more to it. And that ultimate knowledge is gained through spiritual science. He takes Shwetaketu systematically from worldly science to spiritual science, through the process of observation, experimentation and inference - the hallmarks of science. He arrives at the ultimate truth after knowing which "there is nothing else to know"!
