Kathopanishad
Kathopanishad is one of the 10 principal upanishads which present the essence and culmination of all knowledge found within India’s most ancient and sacred texts; the vedas. It is a dialogue between a little boy named Nachiketa and the Lord of Death, Yama, which covers the nature of life after death, the true meaning of sacrifice, and how one can transcend death.
It is believed that listening to the upanishads is the first step towards discovering our unique spiritual path to liberation. In 2020, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai gave a series of talks over the course of a month, which methodically and thoroughly explained the significance of the Kathopanishad and its relevance to us in our lives. This podcast series is compiled from those talks.
Kathopanishad
22. Aspire for brahman alone to the exclusion of all else
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“How will you come to know God?” Sadguru asks.
When you desist from doing wrong things, when you keep your minds pure, desires in control, mind fully absorbed in brahman, and are able to remain calm without any expectations or desperation to realise brahman.
Do your best, and leave the rest to God to decide. When, where, how It has to be revealed, God alone knows best.
