Adhyāya 325: Nārada in Śvetadvīpa—Stotra to the Nirguṇa Mahātman

उद्यानानि च रम्याणि तथैवायतनानि च । पुण्यानि चैव रत्नानि सो>त्यक्रामदथाध्वग:

udyānāni ca ramyāṇi tathaivāyatanāni ca | puṇyāni caiva ratnāni so 'tyakrāmad athādhvagaḥ ||

قال بيشما: إنّ ذلك المسافر مضى—من غير تعلّق—متجاوزاً حدائقَ بهيجةً كثيرة، وكذلك مساكنَ شتّى ومزاراتٍ مقدّسة. وحتى حين كانت الجواهرُ النفيسةُ المباركةُ مطروحةً أمامه، أعرض عنها جميعاً ومضى قُدُماً. تُبرز الآية خُلُقَ عدم التعلّق: فالحكيم لا يدع الراحةَ ولا القداسةَ ولا الغنى يصرفه عن مقصده الأعلى.

Educational Q&A

That true spiritual or ethical progress requires non-attachment: even beauty (gardens), sanctity (shrines), and wealth (jewels) should not distract one from the chosen higher aim.

A traveler encounters attractive gardens, residences/temples, and even valuable jewels, but he deliberately passes them by, showing disciplined indifference and continuing his journey.
