8. Always choose Shreyas (Good) over Preyas (Pleasant)

Update: 2021-12-23

Description

One of the most important teachings is shared by Yama to Nachiketa in this episode. The concept of two paths that appear before man at all times. śreyaḥ and preyaḥ.

preyaḥ is the path that appears pleasant, but is essentially not good for the seeker.

śreyaḥ is the path that is good for the seeker, although it may appear to be unpleasant at first.

Both of these bind you, as the seeker. Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai lovingly explains how one should proceed when faced with these two paths ahead of them.
