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.

43. The Infinite Potential Of A Mind Merged In Divinity
The ultimate indicator of spiritual progress is that, whatever happens, our lives should be lived effortlessly. Bad or good, we take all that life offers us in our stride and remain unaffected by it all. In this episode, Sadguru reminds us of the process of effortless living by merging our individual consciousness (jñānātman) into collective consciousness (mahatātman) and further still, into cosmic consciousness (śāntātman).
When the mind becomes merged in infinity, the mind’s capacity becomes infinite. Its intelligence, power and capabilities multiply in infinite ways. No harm can fall on such a person. For one whose consciousness has merged from jñānātman to mahatātman to śāntātman, has progressed from an individual mind to no-mind. All suffering, worries and fears disappear for one whose mind has merged with the highest.
