Katha Upanishad 4.14
beginner
यथोदकं दुर्गे वृष्टं पर्वतेषु विधावति। एवं धर्मान्पृथक्पश्यंस्तानेवानुविधावति॥
yathodakaṃ durge vṛṣṭaṃ parvateṣu vidhāvati | evaṃ dharmānpṛthakpaśyaṃstānevānuvidhāvati ||
""As water rained on a height scatters among the hills, so one who sees things as separate runs after them.""
What This Means:
Like rain water scattering down different mountain slopes, one who sees reality as many separate things gets scattered chasing them all.
Going Deeper:
Seeing multiplicity fragments attention and energy. The seeker gets lost chasing countless separate goals.
How To Apply This:
Don't scatter yourself chasing separate things. See the unity and your energy consolidates.
