The Esoteric Significance of the Kathopanishad - 3.7 Swami Krishnananda

======================================================================== ======================================================================== 24/12/2019. Chapter 3: Nachiketas’ Third Boon-7. ======================================================================== 7.1 #We use the words ‘existence’, ‘being’, ‘that which is’, etc., as if things are very clear to us. Existence is the counterpart of non-existence. We cannot think of what is unless we are simultaneously thinking what is not. The moment we think of day, the idea of night also arises. When we think of the good, the bad also is there. Everything that we are capable of thinking in the mind appears to be relative to its own counterpart. That which is absolutely self-sufficient cannot become an object of our understanding or reason; hence, the reluctance of the great Lord to answer this question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
