Vedas 45 - Kathopanishad - Part 4 - Turn The Mind Inwards

Yama continues to pour out his knowledge and wisdom. Nachiketa listens, imbibes and retains the esoteric knowledge. "The Sense and Sense organs, Tend to chase the external objects, Totally deluded by the external glitter. The foolish man continues to pursue in a Tearing hurry to capture the illusive things, Thereby, falling again and again into a trap, Tethering himself to the cycle of transmigration." "When the gaze of the Mind and the Senses, Wheels around to make a definite ‘U' turn, A path directed inwards, Away from the external sensual objects; Then, A transformation takes place or A discovery of the inner ‘Self' A realisation known as ‘Pratyagaatman'." "O Nachiketaa! Did you know that The Atman, the Self or the Soul Residing inside each Being Is the size of a thumb? Even though, so small, The Soul is the Lord of The past, present and future." Neither the study of scriptures, Nor acquiring phenomenal knowledge, Can make a person realise the ‘Atman'. Only a pure Self with a pure mind is United with the Brahman or the Supreme Soul, Just as one pure water is mixed with another pure water, Joined and mixed perfectly, becomes absolutely identical!
