Katha Upanishad 5.6
beginner
हन्त त इदं प्रवक्ष्यामि गुह्यं ब्रह्म सनातनम्। यथा च मरणं प्राप्य आत्मा भवति गौतम॥
hanta ta idaṃ pravakṣyāmi guhyaṃ brahma sanātanam | yathā ca maraṇaṃ prāpya ātmā bhavati gautama ||
""Come, I will tell you this secret, the eternal Brahman, and what happens to the Self after death, O Gautama.""

Going Deeper:

How To Apply This:
The secret of death is being revealed. Pay attention to what follows.
