Shloka 64
उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय 33: धृतराष्ट्र-विदुर संवादः (विदुरनीतिः)
आत्मना55त्मानमन्विच्छेन्मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियैर्यतै: । आत्मा होवात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मन:
ātmanā ātmānam anvicchen manobuddhīndriyaiḥ yataiḥ | ātmā hy ātmanaḥ bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ ||
ينصح فيدورا: ليطلب المرء معرفة ذاته (الآتمن) بأن يُخضع العقل (مانَس) والفهم (بودهي) والحواس للرياضة والانضباط. فالنفس نفسها تكون عونًا وصديقًا إذا أُحكمت، وهي بعينها تصير عدوًّا إذا تُركت بلا زمام.
विदुर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Mastery of mind, intellect, and senses is the means to self-knowledge; when disciplined, one’s own self supports one’s welfare, and when undisciplined, it undermines it.
In the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-filled setting before the great war, Vidura delivers ethical instruction, emphasizing inner governance as the foundation for right action and sound judgment.
