न हायं कस्यचित् कक्षिन्नास्य कश्नन विद्यते | भवत्येको हायं नित्यं शरीरे सुखदुः:खभाक्
na hāyaṁ kasyacit kaścin nāsya kaścan na vidyate | bhavaty eko hy ayaṁ nityaṁ śarīre sukha-duḥkha-bhāk ||
অসিতে ক’লে—এই জীৱ প্ৰকৃততে কাৰো নহয়, আৰু কোনো আনেও প্ৰকৃততে ইয়াৰ নহয়; বাস্তৱতে সি সদায় একাই। কিন্তু দেহত বাস কৰি তাক ‘মোৰ’ বুলি মানি লোৱাৰ ফলত সি সুখ-দুখৰ ভাগী হয়।

Educational Q&A
The self is intrinsically solitary and unowned; suffering arises when it identifies with the body and develops possessiveness (‘mine’), thereby becoming an experiencer of pleasure and pain.
In a didactic discourse in Śānti Parva, the sage Asita instructs about the nature of the self and the roots of bondage, emphasizing detachment from bodily identification as an ethical-spiritual remedy for grief and suffering.
