Episode notes

i can do whatever a living being can, but it cannot see or hear. All the activities of senses are duplicated by computer programs. i was stunned to see that one of the most difficult philosophical texts has been extended using an advanced computer program. There's no understanding there at all.

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Katha Upanishad, one of India's most revered texts which is also a part of the Vedas. It is a collection of philosophical poems representing a conversation between the sage Naciketas and Yama (god of death). They discuss the nature of Atman, Brahman and Moksha(liberation).
