Fire of Nachiketha

Everybody is afraid of death . All are curious to know what happens after death . This doubt has been stirring the minds of humanity since beginning of time . They have devised systems and methods to make the mortal immortal . All have been futile . Whatever is finite in dimensions is also limited by time . Whatever infinite in dimensions is also eternal and immortal . The same doubt was also in the minds of the young Nachikethas mind . He got the answers from none other than Yamaraja, the god of death . Upanishats have been proclaiming in no uncertain terms the invincibility and the immortality of the Atma / Soul . It is the body that dies and the Soul is immortal . Identifying ourselves with this body is the cause of our misery . This beautiful upanishat surely shows us the paths for a joyful life .
