Katha-Upanishada

The text of the Katha-Upanishady

This Upanishad tells the story of Pluchikatas, dedicated to spiritual discipline by the pit itself. The same story is mentioned in Tititria-Brahman, as well as in Mahabharata, in the chapter 106 of the Anushasanaparv section. Upanishada gained fame thanks to the clarity of presentation and the wealth of artistic images. Many ideas expressed in it can be found in Bhagavadgit. Since it belongs to Shakh (branches) of the "Katha" school "Krishna-Yajurveda", it was called the Katha-Upanishad.

Once Vajashravas, a strict adherent of rituals, also known as Gautam, made a yagu (sacrifice). The distribution of the cows was part of the rite, but the cows sacrificed by the Gautama were so weak that they could neither pin the grass, to drink water, nor give milk! They were too old to bring any benefit. The son of Gautama, the pricking, smart and virtuous young man, who noticed this, realized that great disasters threaten his father as a consequence of sin - bringing unrighteous gifts. He wanted to help his father avoid a heavy fate, doing everything in his power for this. He asked his father to whom he intends to give him himself! Pluchitas stubbornly insisted on being sacrificed. From this statement, Gautama became so furious that he cried out indignantly: "I give you to the god of death!" Then Plocketas decided that the father’s words should not be refuted, despite the fact that they were said in Jiva-lice, defiled by birth and death. Therefore, he insisted that his father offers him as a gift to the pit, having held the ceremony in strict accordance with the ritual. It was worth the rite to end, Pluchitas immediately found himself near the walls of the monastery of the god of death. He had to wait for three nights before he could see the hole. The lord of death, experiencing remorse, which made the guest from the brahman caste for so long, and wanting to atone for the guilt, promised to fully fulfill three desires, one for every night spent outside the monastery.

First of all, Plocketas asked that when, with the permission of the pit, he would return home, his father would gladly meet his son, forgetting his anger at a daring act and finding the peace of mind. Secondly, Plocketas wished to find out for what reason in the heavenly monastery of the gods there are no hunger, thirst and fear of death. The pit willingly fulfilled these two desires. Moreover, the pit devoted a special sacrifice to the sacrament. Pluchikatas with respect for listening to the pit and quickly and clearly learned all the details of the complex ritual. The pit was so pleased with his student that he gave the Yaga a new name - the Substract Agni! It was an unprecedented mercy to such a young guest. Pluchitas said: “Teacher! The man is mortal, but some people say that death is not the end and that there is a certain“ he ”called Atman, who continues to live after the death of feelings and body; others object that“ it ”is not in and in Mentally. And now, taking this opportunity, I would like to know from you about this Atman. "

The pit decided to try the asking questions, finding out how unshakable his desire to comprehend the highest wisdom. The god of death did not want to convey knowledge to the one who did not deserve this. Therefore, he promised Provikatas for various gifts associated with worldly happiness and well -being. He also informed him that the Atman was something very subtle and elusive and that he is outside the limits of ordinary perception. After that, the pit tried to attract the young man with tempting earthly temptations, which could enjoy "more fully and faster." But Pluchitas replied: "A venerable teacher! Listening to your arguments about the difficulty of comprehending Atman, I felt that I should not miss my chance, because I will hardly find a more suitable teacher for this purpose than you. Only in this, and in nothing else, and in nothing else, and in nothing else, and in nothing else, and in nothing else. My third desire consists. A lot of gifts that you offer in return will not be able to bring to the endless benefit that only one atma of Jnyan will bring me. ”

Seeing such Shraddhu (firm faith) and such adamming, the pit was satisfied. He concluded that Pluchitas GO
