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
19. A scientific approach to brahman’s existence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The entire world is a modification of the one pure consciousness.
The ātman, subtler than the subtlest and greater than the greatest, dwells in the heart of all beings. The one free from desire and grief, with the sense and mind at peace, perceives the glory of the ātman. The atom which is a micro-representation of the entire cosmic material existence, is made up of 99.9999999…% empty space. Hence the entire universe, is also made up of 99.9999999…..% empty space.
If one were to dive deeper and deeper into our very existence, we will discover that we too are nothing but empty space.
