Nachiketa and the teaching of Yama

The dialogue of the boy Nachiketa with Yama on death and the immortal Self.
In the Katha Upanishad, the boy Nachiketa questions Yama, lord of death, and receives the teaching of the eternal Atman — the famous image of the Self as the master of the chariot of the body, and the razor's edge of the path to liberation.
