In Kathopanishadam Lord Yama answers questions like life after death where one goes after death posed by Nachiketa. Swami Vivekananda liked this Upanishad so much that he used to advice his disciples to memorize it and study it faithfully and imbibe the purity shraddha and determination of Nachiketa. Swamiji tells that the character of Nachiketa should be imbibed by everyone so that we can grow morally intellectually and spiritually and develop what he calledManliness and wade towards the final beatitude of Life.
