Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Pramāda as Mṛtyu

Chapter 42

न च कर्मस्वसिद्धेषु दुःखं तेन च न ग्लपेत्‌ सर्वरेव गुणैर्युक्तो द्रव्यवानपि यो भवेत्‌,जो पुरुष सब गुणोंसे युक्त और धनवान्‌ हो, यदि उसके किये हुए कर्म सिद्ध न हों तो उनके लिये दुःख एवं ग्लानि न करे

na ca karmasv asiddheṣu duḥkhaṃ tena ca na glapet | sarva eva guṇair yukto dravyavān api yo bhavet ||

يعلّم ساناتسوجاتا أنّ المرءَ، وإن كان جامعًا لكل فضيلة وذا مال، لا ينبغي له أن يغرق في الحزن أو ينهار في لوم النفس إذا لم تكتمل مساعيه. بل عليه أن يثبت، مدركًا أنّ ثمرةَ العمل ليست دائمًا في متناول السيطرة، وأنّ الاتزانَ الأخلاقي في ذاته علامةُ الحكمة.

Educational Q&A

Do not fall into sorrow or self-blame when efforts do not succeed; maintain inner steadiness and ethical composure, since outcomes are not fully governed by one’s virtues, wealth, or exertion.

In the Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a didactic discourse) on higher conduct and inner discipline; here he counsels resilience and freedom from dejection when actions remain unfulfilled.
