नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
द्रष्टव्यौ नित्यमेवैतौ तत्परेणान्तरात्मना | तथास्य जन्मनिधने न भवेतां पुनः पुनः
draṣṭavyau nityam evaitau tatpareṇāntarātmanā | tathāsya janma-nidhane na bhavetāṁ punaḥ punaḥ ||
যাজ্ঞবল্ক্য ক’লে—পৰম লক্ষ্যত একাগ্ৰ অন্তৰাত্মাৰে এই দুয়োটা—প্ৰকৃতি আৰু পুৰুষ—নিত্য সাক্ষাৎকাৰ কৰিব লাগে; এনে জ্ঞান হ’লে পুনঃ পুনঃ জন্ম-মৃত্যুত পতিত হ’ব নালাগে।

Educational Q&A
Constant inward contemplation, grounded in devotion to the Supreme, should culminate in direct knowledge of Prakṛti and Puruṣa; this discriminative realization cuts the repeated bondage of saṁsāra (birth and death).
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation, the sage Yājñavalkya advises the seeker to maintain inner, single-pointed orientation and to realize the fundamental principles (Nature and Spirit) so that the compulsion toward repeated rebirth ceases.
