Shloka 6
Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)
न सादृश्ये तिक्ठतति रूपमस्य न चक्षुषा पश्यति कश्रिदेनम् मनीषयाथो मनसा ह॒दा च य एन॑ विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्
na sādṛśye tiṣṭhati rūpam asya na cakṣuṣā paśyati kaścid enam | manīṣayātho manasā hṛdā ca ye enaṃ vidur amṛtās te bhavanti || yoginas taṃ prapaśyanti bhagavantaṃ sanātanam ||
Sanatsujāta sprach: Seine wahre Gestalt liegt nicht im Bereich des Vergleichs; niemand sieht Ihn mit dem leiblichen Auge. Doch wer Ihn durch unterscheidende Einsicht, durch innere Festigkeit des Geistes und durch das tiefste Gewahrsein des Herzens erkennt, wird unsterblich—das heißt, er gelangt zum höchsten Selbst. Die Yogins schauen diesen ewigen Herrn unmittelbar in der inneren Verwirklichung.

Educational Q&A
The Supreme cannot be grasped by external comparison or sensory sight; immortality (liberation) comes through inner realization—discernment, mental inwardness, and heart-centered knowing—culminating in the yogin’s direct vision of the eternal Lord.
In the Sanatsujātīya discourse within Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a setting of ethical and existential urgency before the great war) that true security is not worldly power but knowledge of the Supreme Self, which grants freedom from death.
