Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
धर्मशीलो नरो विद्वानीहको5नीहको<पि वा । आत्मभूत: सदा लोके चरेद् भूतान्यहिंसया
dharmaśīlo naro vidvān īhako 'nīhako 'pi vā | ātmabhūtaḥ sadā loke cared bhūtāny ahiṃsayā ||
Dijo Parāśara: Quien está asentado en el dharma y dotado de sabiduría—ya sea activo en los afanes del mundo o libre de todo afán—debe recorrer el mundo en todo tiempo con un íntimo sentido de unidad con todos los seres, tratándolos con ecuanimidad y sin dañar a criatura alguna.
पराशर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Whether one lives an active life or a renunciant, the mark of true wisdom is to see oneself in all beings and therefore practice non-violence and even-handed conduct toward every creature.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma, Parāśara delivers a normative teaching: he defines the ideal conduct of a dharmic, wise person as universal identification (ātmabhāva) expressed through ahiṃsā in everyday behavior.
