Looks like attention...Excellent question, Srinivas. Looks like attention has the capacity to turn inward and watch the movement of thought. Neuroscientists like Catherine Kerr and Neuropsychiatrists like Iain McGilchrist (book: The Master and his emissary) say that the thought process grabs all the attention and in fact inhibits signals from body as well as outside. McGilchrist says that the ability to sense the wholeness is in the right hemisphere (RH) and over a period the connections between the LH to RH have shrunk and become primarily inhibitory. That is, LH tells RH, "I know it, don't interfere". LH begins to treat the map as the territory. As Katha Upanishad says, turning the attention inward is important.

The sense organs are outward facing and hence turning attention inward is not natural. Once one sees that perception is largely coming from internal model (beliefs), question of why is the world like this subsides.Vinay Dabholkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007011866370283276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003076573972458673.post-12821793993275033712021-06-07T11:21:54.436+05:302021-06-07T11:21:54.436+05:30Good question, Baba.

The subject matter is the most well kept secret - Yama had not explained to anybody before or after this incident. Though we all know that everybody dies someday, our curiosity about what is death, what happens after death etc is quite low. But Nachiketa was super curious - event though Yama offered many other gifts, N said that he wants answers for his questions and nothing else.It is this kind of intense curiosity to know about death that triggered young Ramana Maharishi to simulate death and observe what happens.
