Katha Upanishad 2.14
advanced
अन्यत्र धर्मादन्यत्राधर्मादन्यत्रास्मात्कृताकृतात्। अन्यत्र भूताच्च भव्याच्च यत्तत्पश्यसि तद्वद॥
anyatra dharmādanyatrādharmādanyatrāsmātkṛtākṛtāt | anyatra bhūtācca bhavyācca yattatpaśyasi tadvada ||
"Nachiketa said: "Tell me what you see as beyond dharma and adharma, beyond what is done and not done, beyond past and future.""
What This Means:
Nachiketa asks for the ultimate: What lies beyond good and evil, beyond action and inaction, beyond time itself?
Going Deeper:
He seeks the Absolute that transcends all dualities - ethical, temporal, and karmic. This is the realm of pure Being.
How To Apply This:
Can you glimpse something beyond all pairs of opposites - beyond good/bad, past/future? That's what Nachiketa seeks.
