Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 I will now read to you some other doctrine of these ancient Upanishads, about birth and death and so on. Perhaps it will interest you. Shvetaketu went to the king of the Panchalas, and the king asked him, " Do you know where people go when they die? Do you know how they come back? Do you know why the other world does not become full ? " The boy replied that he did not know. Then he went to his father and asked him the same questions. The father said, " I do not know, " and he went to the king. The king said that this knowledge was never known to the priests, it was only with the kings, and that was the reason why kings ruled the world. This man stayed with the king for some time, for the king said he would teach him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
