Mantram - 11: Nachiketas’s Attainment.

Post - 40.

Mantram - 11.

Kaamasya aapttim jagatah pratishthaaam

kratoh aanantyam abhayasasya paaram

stoma-mahat urugaayam pratishthaam  drishtavaa

dhrityaa dheerah nachiketah ati-asraaksheeh! || 1.2.11||

=======================================================================

1 

Kaamasya aaptim  =  The fulfillment of desire

jagatah pratishthaam  =   is the foundation of the World (Jagat).

2 

kratoh aanantyam   =  The endless rewards of sacrifices

abhayasya paaram;  =   are the other shore of fearlessness (the Heavens),

3 

stoma-mahat urugaayam   =  the great covetable sphere of Hiranyagarbha.

pratishthaam drishtvaa  =  Having examined all these,

4 

dhrityaa dheerah nachiketah   = O Nachiketas, being full of wisdom and firm resolve, 

ati-asraaksheeh.  = you have rejected them all!

========================================================================

Nachiketas’s Direct Path to Realisation:

In contrast to Yama’s route, Nachiketas has chosen from the very outset to follow 

the path of Renunciation while still living on earth, which will take him straight to liberation.

1 

He is able to abandon the path of Desire merely by using his pure discrimination, 

without having to experience those desires. We all know how difficult that is, for Desire is 

the support of this perishable world.

2 

Besides this, Nachiketas also steers himself free of all heavenly attractions. He does

not take the Krama Mukti route as did Lord Yama. Although heavenly pleasures in the 

realms of Hiranyagarbha are so intensely attractive, yet they are rejected by him since they 

bring only temporary happiness. Nachiketas is looking for a happiness that is permanent. 

3 

The “endless rewards” and the “fearlessness” mentioned in the verse have to be 

interpreted as relative states. Whatever is within the realm of Hiranyagarbha can only be 

desire-based and relative. Absolute fearlessness is attained only in the Supreme Brahman.

4 

Yama compares his weakness with the strength displayed by Nachiketas, who was 

able to resist the temptation of material pleasures so determinedly without breaking. In 

Yama’s eyes, Nachiketas’s qualities far exceed his own.

The Greatness of Both Yama & Nachiketas:

For Lord Yama to speak so openly about his own weakness to his own disciple speaks 

volumes of the kind of trust, and openness of character he possessed. It is this sterling 

quality that is possessed by those who realise Brahman. We see in Lord Yama the qualities 

of true leadership when he recognizes the greatness of his disciple. There is no jealousy, 

only the highest praise. Yama actually gets carried away in his praise of Nachiketas, who has 

to remind Yama of his third boon in a very direct manner yet again a little later.

6. PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS DIVINE AND SUPREME, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS

7. NATURE IS ABOVE ALL, EVER EXISTING, ALL OTHERS MEANINGLESS.

8. THE CONTENT OF SO-CALLED HOLY BOOK IS NO HOLY AT ALL, AS IT PREACHES HATRED AND DESTRUCTION OF OTHER MANKIND, RELIGIOUS CONVERSIONS AND LIES OF UNCIVILIZED MATERIALS

9. CHRISTIANITY IS EQUALLY DEMONSTRATED CRUELTY, THE SO CALLED HOLY BOOK FULL OF LIES

10. BOTH ARE NOT RELIGIONS BUT SAMPRADAYA (ILLITERATE MAN MADE, NOT BASED ON DHARMA

11. THE CULTURE OF BHARATHAM BASED ON UPANISHADS AND FULL OF  REALISATION TEXTS ARE PRODUCED BY GREAT RISHIS OF BHARATHAM

12. IN THIS MATERIALISTIC DESTRUCTIVE MINDED UNIVERSE, NO RELIGIONS COMPARABLE OR ABOVE SANATANA DHARMA OF BHARATHAM.

6. The communists next donkey group, latest stunt of America visit and the comedy programmed namely Kerala sabha!? these buggers destroyed Kerala in all and joining with radical Islam soon they will be eliminated, people of Kerala get up from donkey thoughts, otherwise Kerala shrink to extinct in all way.
