The point of Brahman

One can very well argue that what is the point of knowing the Brahman?

There are human cares and concerns which are more immediate.

Health, survival, reproduction, money.

Indeed these are more pressing concerns.

Then can Brahman, help us with these pursuits?

And indeed since Brahman is all powerful can't he take care of these rather small concerns?

To this it can only be argued that indeed Brahman is the doer of all things.

It is the being in all beings.

However, knowledge of him will not make all beings direct their efforts towards you.

All the knowledge of it can do is this.

Knowledge of it will make you feel truly home in this world.

Just as a home is  a place where you can be yourself, you don't have to fight, you don't have to pretend.

Knowing Brahman you realize that the whole world is same as you and hence you are afraid of nothing.

Knowledge of it can only give peace and oneness with the universe.
