Katha Upanishad 2.2.4 meaning

asya visransamanasya shareerasthasya dehinah dehad vimuchyamanasya kim atra parishishyate etad vai tat
अस्य विस्रंसमानस्य शरीरस्थस्य देहिनः। देहाद्विमुच्यमानस्य किमत्र परिशिष्यते। एतद्वै तत्॥

When the one who lives in the body slips away and is released from it, what remains here? This, truly, is That.

What it means
When life leaves the body, something essential is gone. The question invites us to see that what animates us was never the body itself, but the life within it.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जब शरीर में रहने वाला खिसककर शरीर से छूट जाता है, तब यहाँ क्या बचता है? यही वह परम है।

जब प्राण शरीर छोड़ देते हैं, तो कुछ मूल चला जाता है। यह प्रश्न दिखाता है कि हमें जीवित रखने वाला शरीर नहीं, उसके भीतर का जीवन था।

Spoken by Yama.
