Yama gave all the details of a particular sacrifice, the performance of which would take one to heaven.As Nachiketa was an intelligent and a sincere boy blessed with a spiritual knowledge, he could understand all that was taught. Nachiketa asked, “Respected Sir. What happens to a man after death? I should like to know the truth from you. This I ask for the third boon. I wish to know the Self about which people have this doubt - 'Some say it exists after death. Others say it does not. I would like to learn about it from no less a teacher than you." Yama hesitated. "Don't ask for such a boon, Nachiketaa. Even the gods in the past had their doubts about this. It is not easy to understand and is very subtle a subject. Ask for some other boon instead" Nachiketa said "If even the Gods had their doubts, this subject is not ordinary and must have great significance. If it is also difficult to understand, so be it. You are the most ideal teacher and I should not miss this opportunity. I cannot think of any better boon better than this." The Lord of Death is alarmed by this request and tries to appease Nachiketa by offering him as much wealth, comforts and long healthy life as he would ever wish for, and not ask for this particular boon. But Nachiketa turned down all offers. He said "O Death, tell us of that thing about which people entertain doubt in the context of the next world and whose knowledge leads to a great result. Apart from this boon, which relates to the inscrutable thing, Naciketa does not pray for any other." Yama tested Nachiketaa further, "You don't know what you are losing, Nachiketaa. Ask for all the riches at my command - cattle,elephants, horses, and gold. Ask for long life and a kingdom on earth. Ask for children and grandchildren who will live hundred years. Ask for heavenly pleasures that are out of the world unavailable to humans. Ask for these beautiful Apsaras who ride in chariots and play musical instruments. All these I can give you . Change your third boon. Do not ask for Self-knowledge." Nachiketa laughed and said, " O Lord of Death, you have blessed me and will not send me empty-handed when I go back. Moreover I need not fear death as long as you rule. Asking for more would be greediness. Pleasure is fleeting and only tires a person if enjoyed to excess. Man's greed can never be satisfied by wealth. And the longest life is too short to enjoy everything there is in the world. Nachiketaa thus instructed in Self-knowledge by Yama , became free from sorrow and death, and attained the Self, his true nature. [The conversation between Lord Yama and Nachiketa constitutes the Kathopanishad, which is part of the Krishna Yajur Veda] #Nachiketa #yama #afterdeath #kathopanishad #lordya
