Q & A/ Discussion
Talk No.2:
The Choices You Make Part.1: Two paths face us in life: the pleasant and the beneficial. Too much of the pleasant dissipates our potential, clouds our focus. The beneficial leads to stability, resilience, to a sharper more discerning intellect. Both paths are subtly intertwined. Learn more in the talk.
THROUGH the story of a confrontation between the fearless child, Nachiketa, and the all-powerful Yama, God of Death, this favourite Upanishad raises compelling issues. Who am I? What dies? What is left? Are we here merely to be torn away from everyone and everything? What are we to do - while alive - about the inevitability of death?
Questions avoided, even discouraged, in our modern youth worshipping world.
