Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties
क्षीणे मनसि सर्वस्मिन् न जन्मसुखमिष्यते । ज्ञानसम्पन्नसत्त्वानां तत् सुखं विदुषां मतम्,मनके क्षीण होनेके साथ ही सब वस्तुओंका क्षय हो जानेपर मनुष्यको जन्मके सुख (लौकिक सुख-भोग आदि) की इच्छा नहीं होती। जिनका अन्तःकरण ज्ञानसे सम्पन्न होता है, उन विद्वानोंको उसीमें सुखका अनुभव होता है
kṣīṇe manasi sarvasmin na janma-sukham iṣyate | jñāna-sampanna-sattvānāṃ tat sukhaṃ viduṣāṃ matam ||
قال فايُو: «إذا فَنِيَ الذهن—وإذا رُئيَ مع فنائه أن كلّ ما يُتَّكأ عليه في الدنيا إلى زوال—لم يعد المرء يشتاق إلى لذّاتٍ معلّقة بالولادة والحياة المتجسّدة. أمّا الذين اغتنى باطنهم بالمعرفة الحقّة، فإن الحكماء يرون أن تلك المعرفة بعينها هي سعادتهم.»

Educational Q&A
Worldly pleasures (janma-sukha) lose their appeal when the mind’s clinging and projections are worn away; for the wise, happiness is grounded in jñāna—clear, liberating understanding—rather than in sensory enjoyment.
Vāyudeva delivers an instruction on inner renunciation: as the mind’s attachments fade and the impermanence of worldly supports is recognized, the seeker turns from birth-bound pleasures toward the joy of knowledge, which the learned regard as the true good.
