The greater you are the simpler your needs and desires are. Your wish is very simple – let everybody be happy.
🌷 Katho Upanishad 🌷
Chapter 1
At the door of death
🌻 Day 6 🌻
तिस्रो रात्रिर्यगवात्सीर्गृहे मे ऽनश्नन् ब्रह्मन्नतिथिर्नमस्यः ।
नमस्तेऽस्तु ब्रह्मन् स्वस्ति मेऽस्तु तस्मात्प्रति त्रीन्वरान्वृणीष्व ॥
Yama gave three boons to the boy – “I owe you three boons because you have been so calm , so quiet , you have meditated , you have been spiritual. You have been thinking of something higher.”
शांतसङ्कल्पः सुमना यथा स्याद् वीतमन्युर्गैतमो माऽभि मृत्यो ।
त्वत्प्रसृष्टं माऽभिवदेत्प्रतीत एतत् त्रयाणां प्रथमं वरं वृणे ॥
Nachiketa said , “O Lord of Death , as the first of these three books , grant that my father’s anger be appeased, so that when I return he may receive me with love.”
Father’s anger weighed heavy on the child , Nachiketa. The first boon he asked was an immediate relief from that. A very simple mind , simple question , simple needs. The greater you are the simpler your needs and desires are. Your wish is very simple – let everybody be happy. No complication. It is the first boon Nachiketa asked for. In the process of death , one sense gets into the other and finally , the mind, with all the impressions of five senses, it snaps out. Yet , it has the ability to listen to sound. That is why singing and chanting is very good for people on the other side. Meditating is very good for people on the other side. Your meditation , your peace touches their soul. It gives them relief. If you are crying and feeling , miserable , they also feel that misery. For the first three days, it is intense and after three days , the soul starts adjusting to the other realm. It keeps away from this. Very few souls are earth bound , they don’t go far for long time. They stick on. They are very few , about 0.1%. someone who is fond of chicken will be found in poultry farm. That is why the last impression of your is very important. It becomes like a balloon over the spirit.
