My happiness is independent of anything in the universe. My happiness is not sold to the universe, from whom now i will go around with a begging bowl. You are saying my happiness depends on going to heaven. No, i don't agree. What natigato will say. Freeing your happiness from the not self is givan muti, freedom. Nosiketa wants to free his happiness from these conditions. It's not against happiness. He wants all of it and much more, but not from these things which yama is showing him. That's the deep, profound thing about it. The more you get up this, more happy iu will be.
Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches the Katha Upanishad, which is one of the most popular Upanishads. The scripture concerns the story of a young man who goes to the house of death to find out what happens after death. The reply describes the nature of reality and the meaning of life.
