chapter,KathaUpanishad.
3Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
In common parlance the verse is interpreted as, Chartered
accountants are always awake and vigilant and diligent in their
duties.
TheKathaUpanishad presents its philosophy through a curious
story of Nachiket, son of Rishi Vajashravasa and Yam the god of
death.

4Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
Nachiket ask profound and metaphysical questions to Yam and the
verse is an answer given by Yam to Nachiket.As per the celebrated
Vedanta philosophy there are three states of existence the Jagrit
avasta, supta avasta and shesh or nidra avasta. These can be
identified as the waking, the dream and the deep sleep state
respectively.

5Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
This may be explained from the point of view of Vedanta
philosophy as:In dream state we experience various types of
emotions during our dreams similar to those that we experience
during our waking state.A sense of reality is attached to these
dream objects and unless we wake up from the dream we continue to
be under prejudice. We live the dream until we realize its
reality.Vedanta philosophy puts this dream state and our waking
worldly phenomenon on a same platform.Even our own body is
constantly changing as old cells die and are replaced by new, yet
we have the feeling of a continuous existence.
6Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
The second line of the Verse states that Brahma is the ultimate
truth, the ultimate reality.Mind attaches our ego to these
perceptions & we have the feeling of I in relation to the
objects.Our mind full of ideas, thoughts, emotions &
perceptions creates an illusion of reality & we remain ignorant
of our true nature.In deep meditation the person witnesses the end
of mental processes, end of all thoughts, time & space halts
& there is only the consciousness of existence that remain, the
Brahma.Thus, the verse states that Brahma is amrut, i.e. the
immortal, permanent, attribute less Brahma.7Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT
Mumbai
The third line of the verse state that, beyond Brahma there is
no other truth.Brahma is that energy which can neither be created
not be destroyed.Self-realization is the ultimate progress and
knowledge.Swami Vivekananda's famous said "Arise, awake, and stop
not till the goal is reached" which is a part of a verse of Katha
Upanishad8Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
The profession we are in and the profession we are progressing
towards, is of a doctor.. people know that doctors take care of
peoples health, reduce their pains and suffering, heal the
diseased.But,very few people know that it is the chartered
accountants that take care of the societal health..! Financial and
moral.10/10/20169Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai
CA is a profession in the society that has the onus as well as
the capacity to save this entire economy and keep it growing..!A
chartered accountants role should be such that he knows that he is
not working just making finacial statements, but is playing an
important role in making the economic/ ethical structure of the
nation..!10/10/201610Dr. Varadraj Bapat, IIT Mumbai

environments, and then were frozen for 3 hours. He then examined
the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took
photographs. The results were totally mind-blowing. Water droplets

94Definition Of CharacterThe word character comes to us from a
Greek verb that means making a furrow, cutting a groove, or putting
a scratch on something as a mark. In the light of its origin, we
may think of character as that which puts its mark on a human
being.
Character is what makes you what you are as distinct from other
persons. The individual is little more than a bundle of feelings
unless there is some central loyalty within creating order out of
the chaos of the soul. Character signifies the organization of life
and behavior around a central loyalty, which has ethical worth and
validity.
Interpersonal EffectivenessInterpersonal effectiveness is the
capability of an individual to do this, influence others,
competently.Leadership is a direct function of three elements of
interpersonal effectivenessAwarenessAbilityCommitment
Interpersonal Effectiveness
AwarenessAwareness is a state of consciousness.It is the ability
to recognize yourself, others, events and situations in real
time.It is the ability to assess the impact of actions on
situations and others, and be critically self-reflective.It is a
development process that is a function of experience,
communication, self discovery and feedback.
AbilityAbility to learn and understand technical issues is the
basis of our careers.Ability to lead is a function of
influence:Ability to communicateAbility to resolve conflictsAbility
to solve problems and make decisionsAs a member of a team, we
influence others in a collaborative effort to find better ideas or
solve problems.
CommitmentFor leaders, the one thing that leads to maturity is
the fully aware recognition that ones decisions make a difference,
both positively and negatively, in the lives of others, and that
any attempt to solve a problem might have a decided negative impact
on some, while helping others.In no-win scenarios, one must still
make a hard decision.
Personality IndicatorsAre you energized around people? Do you
like to meet people and seek opportunities to do so? Do you think
out loud? Do you talk to plants and discuss problems with animals?
This is Extrovert behavior.Alternatively, do you find you would
rather work alone, without interruption. Does meeting too many
people tend to tire you out? Would you sooner not answer the phone
- let the answering machine do it for you. Would you rather have a
problem written down for you than stated verbally? This is typical
Introvert behavior.
