अध्याय ३३१: नारायणकथा-प्रशंसा तथा नारदस्य श्वेतद्वीप-निवृत्ति एवं बदरी-आगमनम् | Chapter 331: Praise of the Nārāyaṇa Narrative; Nārada’s Return from Śvetadvīpa and Arrival at Badarī

इसलिये मानसिक दु:खको बुद्धिके द्वारा विचारसे और शारीरिक कष्टको औषध- सेवनद्वारा नष्ट करना चाहिये। शास्त्रज्ञानके प्रभावसे ही ऐसा होना सम्भव है। दुःख पड़नेपर बालकोंकी तरह रोना उचित नहीं है ।।

anityaṁ yauvana-rūpaṁ jīvitaṁ dravya-saṁcayaḥ | ārogyaṁ priya-saṁvāso gṛdhyet tatra na paṇḍitaḥ ||

Dijo Nārada: La juventud y la hermosura son impermanentes; también lo son la vida misma, la acumulación de riquezas, la salud y la compañía de los seres amados. Por ello, el sabio no se aferra a estas cosas. Cuando surge la aflicción, debe disiparse el dolor de la mente mediante la reflexión discerniente y el sufrimiento del cuerpo mediante remedios apropiados; tal firmeza es posible por el poder del conocimiento de las Escrituras. No es propio llorar como un niño cuando llega la desgracia.

Educational Q&A

All worldly supports—beauty, youth, life, wealth, health, and even the presence of loved ones—are transient; therefore the wise avoid attachment and meet suffering with reflective discernment and appropriate practical measures, grounded in scriptural understanding.

In Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and right conduct, Nārada delivers counsel that reframes grief: instead of childish lamentation, one should recognize impermanence and respond to mental and physical distress through wisdom, reasoning, and suitable remedies.
