Adhyāya 122 — Śruta-vṛtta-yukta Brāhmaṇa and the Ethics of Dāna
Maitreya–Vyāsa Saṃvāda
गुणभूतानि भूतानि तत्र त्वमुपभोक्ष्यसे । तत्र ते5हं विनेष्यामि ब्रह्मा त्वं यत्र वैष्यसि
guṇabhūtāni bhūtāni tatra tvam upabhokṣyase | tatra te 'haṃ vineṣyāmi brahmā tvaṃ yatra vaiṣyasi ||
قال فياسا: «هناك ستتمتع بموضوعات الخبرة، وأنت تدرك أنها ليست إلا تحوّلات العناصر العظمى الخمسة، وتبقى غير متعلّق. ثم آتيك فألقّنك معرفة البراهمن؛ وإلى أي عالمٍ تشتهي الذهاب، إلى ذلك العالم بعينه أحملك».
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sense-objects should be experienced without clinging, by seeing them as mere modifications of the elemental world; when dispassion matures, the teacher grants brahma-vidyā and guides the seeker toward the desired (and ultimately highest) destination.
Vyāsa promises the listener that after they live with non-attachment—treating worldly enjoyments as elemental transformations—he will personally return to instruct them in Brahman-knowledge and then lead them to the realm they choose.
