ਉਤਪਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਕਥਾ

Katha Upanishad, Verse 1.2.23 · Traditional (Upanishadic); taught by Yama to Nachiketa · Vedic / Upanishadic

In the Katha Upanishad, the young Nachiketa, sent to the realm of death by his father, wins three boons from Yama. For his third boon he asks the supreme secret of what lies beyond death. Yama first tests him with offers of wealth, long life and pleasures, but Nachiketa rejects them all, seeking only the knowledge of the Self. Pleased with his steadfastness, Yama teaches him the highest wisdom, declaring in this verse that the Self is won not by learning or intellect but by the earnest seeker whom the Self itself chooses, revealing to him its own true form.

✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

The Katha Upanishad recounts that Nachiketa, having received this teaching from Yama and freed from passion and death, attained Brahman; and it promises that whoever hears and tells this supreme dialogue, and the longing for the Self awakens in him, becomes worthy of immortal greatness.

Recite the verse with reverence, letting go of any pride in your learning. Offer your study and effort to the Self with a prayerful heart, asking that It reveal itself to you. Combine sincere practice with quiet surrender, remembering that the Self 'chooses' the one whose longing is pure. Dwell on the assurance of the last line — that to such a seeker the Self unveils its own true nature.

ਹਾਂ — ਕੇਵਲ ਲਿਪੀ ਬਦਲਦੀ ਹੈ; ਸ਼ਬਦ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਅਰਥ ਮੂਲ ਹੀ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਪੰਨੇ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਲੋਕ-ਦਰ-ਸ਼ਲੋਕ ਅਰਥ, ਲਾਭ ਅਤੇ ਪਾਠ ਵਿਧੀ ਉਸੇ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਾਗੂ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ।

It means 'this Self is not attained by exposition, nor by intellect, nor by much hearing'. It teaches that Self-knowledge cannot be gained by cleverness or wide reading alone; the Self reveals itself to the sincere seeker whom it chooses.

It is from the Katha Upanishad (1.2.23), part of the Yajur Veda, and the very same verse also appears in the Mundaka Upanishad (3.2.3). In the Katha Upanishad it is spoken by Yama, the lord of death, while teaching the boy Nachiketa.

No. It does not condemn study or intellect but warns against relying on them alone or out of pride. Effort purifies and prepares the seeker; the final unveiling of the Self comes as grace to a heart made sincere and longing through that very effort.

It means the Self reveals itself to the one whose desire for it is pure, whole-hearted and free of selfish motive. Such single-minded longing is itself the sign of being 'chosen', and to that seeker the Self discloses its own true nature.
