Shloka 54
अव्यक्त-मानस-सृष्टिवादः
Doctrine of Creation from the Unmanifest ‘Mānasa’
यदा न कुरुते धीर: सर्वभूतेषु पापकम् | कर्मणा मनसा वाचा ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा,जब धैर्यसम्पन्न ज्ञानवान् पुरुष किसी भी प्राणीके प्रति मन, वाणी और क्रियाद्वारा पापपूर्ण बर्ताव नहीं करता, तब परब्रह्म परमात्माको प्राप्त कर लेता है
yadā na kurute dhīraḥ sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam | karmaṇā manasā vācā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
যখন ধীর ও বিবেকী ব্যক্তি কোনো প্রাণীর প্রতিই কর্মে, মনে ও বাক্যে পাপাচরণ করে না—তখন সে ব্রহ্ম, পরমাত্মাকে লাভ করে।

In the Shanti Parva’s instructional setting, a Brahmin speaker delivers a concise doctrinal statement: the wise person who refrains from wrongdoing toward any creature in all three channels (mind, speech, deed) becomes established in Brahman.
