Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
अध्यापयेन्महदेतद् यशस्यं वाचो विकारा: कवयो वदन्ति । अस्मिन् योगे सर्वमिदं प्रतिछितं ये तद् विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति,यह महत्त्वपूर्ण शास्त्र परम यशरूप परमात्माकी प्राप्ति करानेवाला है, इसे शिष्योंको अवश्य पढ़ाना चाहिये। परमात्मासे भिन्न यह सारा दृश्य-प्रपंच वाणीका विकारमात्र है-- ऐसा विद्वान् लोग कहते हैं। इस योगशास्त्रमें यह परमात्मविषयक सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान प्रतिष्ठित है; इसे जो जान लेते हैं, वे अमर हो जाते हैं अर्थात् जन्म-मरणसे मुक्त हो जाते हैं
adhyāpayen mahad etad yaśasyaṃ vāco vikārāḥ kavayo vadanti | asmin yoge sarvam idaṃ pratiṣṭhitaṃ ye tad vidur amṛtās te bhavanti ||
This great and glorious teaching, which leads to the highest renown—indeed to the attainment of the Supreme Self—should certainly be taught to worthy students. The learned declare that the entire world of appearances, insofar as it is taken as separate from the Supreme, is only a modification of speech—mere verbal construction. In this discipline of yoga, the whole of this knowledge concerning the Supreme is firmly established; those who truly know it become deathless, that is, they are freed from the cycle of birth and death.

Educational Q&A
True knowledge of the Supreme, taught through this yoga/discipline, reveals that the apparent world (when taken as separate from the Supreme) is largely a construct of language and conceptualization; realizing the Supreme through this knowledge leads to ‘deathlessness’—freedom from birth and death.
In the Sanatsujātīya section of the Udyoga Parva, the sage Sanatsujāta instructs (in a didactic setting) on liberation-oriented knowledge. Here he emphasizes the duty to transmit this exalted teaching and asserts its liberating result.
