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.

50. The Secrets Of Permanent Happiness
Just as electricity can manifest as light when conducted into a light bulb, as sound via speakers or as wind in the form of a fan, so too this one, singular ātman is manifesting as everything.
The only one who can achieve the permanent, impervious happiness is the one who sees this oneness in the varied creation and realises that the happiness or peace they seek lies within them and cannot be procured from anything external.
