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.

52. Realise The Truth NOW
In this episode of Kathopanishad, we are emphatically urged to seek the truth right now as one never knows how long is left of their life. Learning this supreme truth is practically impossible on any other plane of existence, so we are warned not to wait for later or our next birth, but to make use of this one whilst we have it.
The future is uncertain and the past is already gone. The present moment is all that exists, so we should make the most of this precious opportunity and free ourselves from all illusion and suffering whilst we have this human body to do it with.
