Yama says, In the world of good deeds (Sukrit), those who drink the truth by being dormant, they are located in the Guhyalok of existence, and in the highest abode of the Supreme High, whose abode is, Brahmavetta describes them as light, and shadow. Those who consume Panchagni, and those who have three Nachiketa-Agni, they also tell like this.
May we be able to kindle that Nachiketa-Agni, which is the bridge for the one who performs the yajna, and which is the ultimate and Akshar Brahman, and which is the fearless-safe shore for those who wish to cross this ocean.
Know the body as the chariot and the soul as the master of the chariot. Know the intellect as the charioteer, and the mind only as the reins of the horses.
The sages call the senses as horses, and the objects of the senses as the path of their movement. And he, who is united with the soul, mind and senses, is the enjoyer.
Now he who is ever useless with his mind, without knowledge, his senses are to him like wild horses, and will not obey the charioteer.
One who is ignorant, whose mind is always unattached, his senses are like wild wild horses, and they do not obey the orders of their charioteer.
In fact, one who is ignorant, unconscious mind and always impure, does not attain that (supreme) position, he keeps wandering in the world-cycle.
But one who is wise, has a conscious mind and is ever pure, he attains that (supreme) position, from where he does not take birth again.
One who uses the mind as a bridle, and makes science (deep knowledge) the charioteer, he attains the end of his path, the supreme seat of Vishnu.
Higher than the senses are their objects, higher than those sense-objects is the mind, higher than the mind is the intellect, and higher than that (intellect) is the great soul.
Higher than that great Self is the Unmanifest, higher than the Unmanifest is the Purusha, higher than the Purusha, nothing. He is the culmination of existence, He is the ultimate goal (Para Gati) of the journey.
The soul element, the secret in all beings, does not make itself visible, yet it is seen by the subtle seers, with a subtle and sharp intelligence.
A wise man controls his speech in the mind, controls that mind in the Self in the form of knowledge, and controls knowledge in the great Self, and again controls it in the Self, which is in the form of peace.
Get up, wake up, find senior men and get understanding from them. The sages say that this path is difficult, like crossing it by walking on the sharp edge of a knife.
That Paratattva, which has neither sound, nor touch, nor form, which is indestructible, which has neither taste nor smell, which is eternal, eternal and eternal, is higher (beyond) than the great self-tattva, is Dhruv (stable), by seeing him one gets relief from the mouth of death.
A man of merit, by telling or listening to this eternal anecdote of Nachiketa, whose speaker was Mrityudeva, becomes glorified in the Brahmaloka.
One who, having a pure mind, narrates this supreme secret, in the assembly of brahmins during the Shraddha period, qualifies him for eternity.
