अव्यक्त-मानस-सृष्टिवादः
Doctrine of Creation from the Unmanifest ‘Mānasa’
सुखं निराश: स्वपिति नैराश्यं परमं सुखम् । आशामनाशां कृत्वा हि सुखं स्वपिति पिड़ला
sukhaṁ nirāśaḥ svapiti nairāśyaṁ paramaṁ sukham | āśām anāśāṁ kṛtvā hi sukhaṁ svapiti piḍalā ||
قال البراهمن: «مَن خلا من التوقّع نام سعيدًا؛ وانعدامُ الرجاء—أي عدمُ التعلّق بالنتائج—هو السعادةُ العظمى. فإذا تحوّل الرجاءُ إلى “لا رجاء”، وإذا تُرِكت شهوتُ الثمرة، نامت پِدالا بسلام.»
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Freedom from expectation (āśā) is presented as the highest happiness: when one stops depending on hoped-for outcomes, the mind becomes untroubled and naturally rests in peace.
A Brahmin speaker states a reflective maxim and points to Piḍalā as an example: by converting hope into non-hope—abandoning anxious longing—Piḍalā attains calm and sleeps happily.
