जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
एवमेवावगन्तव्यं नानात्वैकत्वमेतयो: । एतद्धि मोक्ष इत्युक्तमव्यक्तज्ञानसंहितम्
evam evāvagantavyaṃ nānātvaikatvam etayoḥ | etad dhi mokṣa ity uktaṃ avyaktajñānasaṃhitam ||
وهكذا ينبغي أن يُفهم: فيما يتعلّق بهذين الأمرين—التعدّد والوحدة—فكلاهما يجب أن يُدرَك إدراكًا صحيحًا. فإنّ هذا هو ما يُسمّى التحرّر (mokṣa): تحقّقٌ مقرونٌ بمعرفة غير المتجلّي (avyakta)، تُرى فيه الكثرة دون أن يغيب الواحد عن البصيرة.
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation is described as the integrated understanding of both multiplicity (nānātva) and unity (ekatva), grounded in knowledge of the Unmanifest (avyakta). One sees the world of many without losing the underlying oneness.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing his listener in a śānti-parvan style discourse on liberation, clarifying a philosophical point: how to reconcile the experience of diversity with the truth of unity, and identifying this reconciled insight as mokṣa.
