May the Lord protect us both teacher and the thought together.

May the Lord give us the results of this knowledge.

May we attain bigger together.

Let what we study be illuminating.

May we not cave at each other.

Rome, peace, peace, peace.

All right.

So we are studying the Qathe Upanishad. And we are studying the Kata Upanishad and we are towards the end of the first section. This Upanishad, by the way, it has two chapters and each chapter has three sections.

So we are in the first chapter, first section is almost over.

And it ends with Naji Keta repeating his question.

You see, he had asked about the Ackman. That was the third boon, three boons he had been offered.

The third boon he asked for was the secret of the Atman, our real nature.

And Yama, instead of answering his questions, he tells him, he scares him by saying it's very difficult, it's very subtle, even the gods are puzzled about this.

And then he tempts him with a wide range of offerings, wealth, long life, sensuous pleasures, heaven after death, children, grandchildren, all of that.
