अध्याय ३५१ — उञ्छवृत्ति-व्रतसिद्धेः मानुषस्य परमगतिः
Sūrya–Nāga Dialogue on the Perfected Gleaner-Ascetic
निःसंशयेषु सर्वेषु नित्यं वसति वै हरि: । ससंशयान् हेतुबलान् नाध्यावसति माधव:,ज्ञानके बलसे जिनके संशयका निवारण हो गया है, उन सबके भीतर सदा श्रीहरि निवास करते हैं; परंतु कुतर्कके बलसे जो संशयमें पड़े हुए हैं, उनके भीतर भगवान् माधवका निवास नहीं है
niḥsaṃśayeṣu sarveṣu nityaṃ vasati vai hariḥ | sasaṃśayān hetubalān nādhyāvasati mādhavaḥ ||
বৈশম্পায়ন বললেন—যাদের সকল সংশয় সম্পূর্ণ দূর হয়েছে, তাদের অন্তরে হরি চিরকাল বাস করেন। কিন্তু যারা কেবল তর্কের জোরে সংশয়ে আবদ্ধ থাকে, তাদের মধ্যে মাধব অধিষ্ঠান করেন না।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The Divine is said to abide in a mind made clear by the removal of doubt through genuine knowledge and discernment; but a mind that clings to doubt through mere contentious reasoning (hetu-bala/kutarka) becomes unfit for that indwelling presence.
Vaiśampāyana continues a didactic passage in Śānti Parva, presenting a moral-spiritual criterion: inner certainty grounded in true understanding is praised, while argumentative skepticism that perpetuates doubt is criticized as a barrier to realizing God within.
