In the concluding verse of the first section of Kathopanishad, Swami Tejomayananda encourages us to have Nachiketa as our benchmark - to imbibe his ability to objectively introspect, the extreme clarity of a goal and the courage to pursue it. By putting in the self-effort and invoking the grace of the Lord and Guru, we too can gain the qualifications that will enable us to attain the highest Self Knowledge.
