नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
अनन्त इति कृत्वा स नित्यं केवलमेव च । धर्माधर्मो पुण्यपापे सत्यासत्ये तथैव च
ananta iti kṛtvā sa nityaṃ kevalam eva ca | dharmādharmo puṇyapāpe satyāsatye tathaiva ca
Bhīṣma sprach: Nachdem er Ihn so als „Ananta“ (den Unendlichen) erkannt hatte, blieb er immerdar allein auf Ihn ausgerichtet. In jener Schau wurden die gewöhnlichen Gegensätze—dharma und adharma, Verdienst und Sünde, Wahrheit und Unwahrheit—allesamt gleich (sie banden und trennten sein Verständnis nicht mehr).
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Single-pointed absorption in the Infinite (Ananta) dissolves the binding force of moral dualities—dharma/adharma, merit/sin, truth/falsehood—by shifting one’s standpoint from worldly evaluation to the unconditioned reality.
Bhīṣma continues an instruction in Śānti Parva, describing a person who, by contemplating the Lord as Ananta and clinging to Him alone, transcends ordinary oppositional categories that govern ethical and social life.
