The great mystery that 'Om' points to || Acharya Prashant, on Katha Upanishad (2019)

Acharya Prashant (AP): This question has been quoted from the Katha Upanishad:

अन्यत्र धर्मादन्यत्राधर्मादन्यत्रास्मात्कृताकृतात् ।

अन्यत्र भूताच्च भव्याच्च यत्तत्पश्यसि तद्वद ॥ 1.2.१४ ॥

anyatra dharmādanyatrādharmādanyatrāsmātkṛtākṛtāt

anyatra bhūtācca bhavyācca yattatpaśyasi tadvada || 1.2.14 ||

“Nachiketa said: That which you see as other than righteousness and unrighteousness,

Other than all this cause and effect,

Other than what has been and what is to be – tell me, That.”

~ Katha Upanishad, Chapter 1, Valli 2, Verse 14

What Would Today’s Buddha Look Like?

1min45reads1

How did the Buddha look then? Who is the Buddha? Let’s try to understand with the story of Gautama Buddha, The ‘Shakya Muni Buddha’ as we call him. So, who was he? Let’s look at his central characteristics. One, someone who is well versed in the knowledge of his time. Buddha had deep scriptural knowledge. He was born in a Hindu Kshatriya family, he was a prince and ever since his childhood he was quite talented. So, one thing about him is that he was quite well-read. Second thing is, he was deeply interested in knowing the depths of life. He did not want to remain merely at the superficial levels, so he would observe a lot, he would think a lot. https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/todays-buddha-1_4d1b6bf
