Vedas 41 - Kathopanishad Part 3 A -The Higher Self &the Lower Self Comments

geeta, i like the image of the two selves reclining of the heart's cushion. i think of different equivalents for yama's teaching here. one is that there are within us two dogs; the one we feed is the one that dominates and grows. in paul's letters to early churches, he talks about being crucified with christ—letting the old self lay buried and the new one to rise. -glen

The question is why the two lights appear from the single fire Soul and the answer is it is our own creation, we in human form do things that we are forbidden to do, the moment we deviate from the Truth or Right Path/ True Path also known as Sirat al-Mustaqeem in Arabic the straight path the shadow overtakes us. Thought provoking series Indeed.

In Vedas 41 - Kathopanishad Part 3 A -The Higher Self &the Lower Self you have so brilliantly and incisively delineated about higher self and lower self. I cite... The Higher Self is the light, The lower self is the shadow. When Truth shines bright in the heart The Duality disappears, There is no more the shadow, There is only the glowing Light! Beautiful poem. Thanks.

The concept Higher Self (Light) and Lower Self (Shadow) has nicely been explained. This duality (with shadow) cannot exist when Truth takes the center-stage. Geeta ji, this story is progressing marvelously. Thanks a lot. I quote: When Truth shines bright in the heart The Duality disappears,
