Atman in Ravi (AiR), was in conversation with our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, at The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake for this episode of Stories From Bharat. The ex-Bengaluru Business Tycoon spoke about how there is a life beyond work, connecting with nature and finding happiness. While sharing his views, he talked about how the ‘Upanishads’, the book of religious and philosophical treatises, changed his way of thinking and aided in following a fruitful spiritual life.
Atman In Ravi Talked About His Understanding Of The ‘Upanishads’
While reflecting on the purpose of life, Atman In Ravi talked about his learning from the ‘Upanishads’. He educated us about the phrase written in this book thousands of years ago, ‘Neti Neti, Tat Twam Asi’. It means and as he said, “I am not this body, not this mind and this body will die.”
AiR then explained that an individual’s body dies but they live on. It is said that people “pass away” after death. After the soul leaves an individual, it is referred to as a “body” and not by their name. Now, he questioned where the soul went and who was the soul. Then, immediately continued that this is the ultimate purpose of life.
“To find out who is gone, where I have gone and what must I do before I am gone, this is the purpose,” he told us. Articulating this thought from the ‘Upanishads’ led Atman In Ravi to highlight the blissfulness of life. Read on.
