The Katha Upanishad is one the philosophical ant poetic of the Upanishads.
Study that most beautiful of all the

Upanishads. That katha, will remember how the king was going to make a great sacrifice, and instead of giving away things that were of any worth, he was giving away cows and horses that were not of any use, and the book says that at the time Shraddha entered into the heart of his son Nachiketa. It is wonderful word to understand, and much depends on it: we will how it works, for immediately we find Nachiketa telling himself, `` I am superior to many, I am inferior to few, but nowhere am I the last, I can also do something’’. And this boldness increased, and the boy wanted to solve the problem which was in his mind, the problem of death. The solution could only be got going to the house of death, and the boy went, there he was, brave Nachiketa, waiting at the house of death for three days, and you know how he obtained what he desired. What we want is this Shraddha. What makes the difference between man and man is the difference in this Shraddha and nothing else. What makes one man great and another weak and low is this Shraddha.
This Shraddha, because they believe in their muscles, and if you believe in your sprit, how much more will it work! Believe in that infinite soul, the infinite power, which. With consensus of opinion, your books and sages preach. That atman, which nothing can destroy, in it is infinite power is only waiting to be called out.
Whether dualistic, qualified-monistic or monistic, they all firmly believe that everything is in the soul itself; it has only to come out and manifest itself. Therefore, this Shraddha is what I want, and what all of us here want, this faith in ourselves, and before you is great task to get that faith.
