Katha Upanishad 4.14

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.
