Six seekers come with firewood in hand. The sage makes them wait a year, then answers six questions — on life, breath, sleep, Om and the Person within.
Dialogues in this Upanishad
Six Seekers with Fuel in Hand — Six learned seekers bring firewood to the sage Pippalada. 'Live here one more year in tapas and faith, then ask.' Their first questions are about life itself.
Sleep, Om, and the Person of Sixteen Parts — Who sleeps, and who sees dreams? What does Om win? And who is the Person of sixteen parts — the question Sukesha could not answer for a prince?
