Katha Upanishad 6.14Famous
intermediate
यदा सर्वे प्रमुच्यन्ते कामा येऽस्य हृदि श्रिताः। अथ मर्त्योऽमृतो भवत्यत्र ब्रह्म समश्नुते॥
yadā sarve pramucyante kāmā ye'sya hṛdi śritāḥ | atha martyo'mṛto bhavatyatra brahma samaśnute ||
""When all desires that dwell in the heart are released, then the mortal becomes immortal and attains Brahman here.""
What This Means:
When all desires in the heart are let go, the mortal becomes immortal and realizes Brahman - right here, in this life.
Going Deeper:
Desire is the root of mortality. Its complete release brings immortality - not after death, but "atra" (here, now).
How To Apply This:
Release desires from your heart. Immortality isn't after death - it's available now.
