Katha Upanishad: Dialogue of Death and Vision of Immortality
Swami Premananda
A short work. But an interesting one. I dunno, I enjoyed how the evil of the 'sense-perception' was described; being able to control those senses and calmly interrogate them appears to be the path to salvation. I think I agree? It seems reminiscent of Bhartrhari's poems and the 'ideal' he strives for. Death is regarded as a temporary state change only regarded as significant because of our reliance on 'sense-perception.' Once that idea is better managed, one is able to realize the supreme Self is eternal. I think I'll read more works translated by Swami Premananda in the future. Quite engaging without being esoteric.
