Shloka 83
कालयुक्तधर्मविवेकः
Discerning Dharma in Accord with Time
तुल्यद्वेष्यप्रिया दान्ता मुच्यन्ते कर्मबन्धनै: । जो कहीं आसक्त नहीं होते
tulyadveṣyapriyā dāntā mucyante karmabandhanaiḥ |
Maheśvara déclare que ceux qui demeurent d’un même esprit envers l’ennemi comme envers l’ami, et qui se gouvernent eux-mêmes, sont délivrés des entraves que leurs propres actes ont forgées. Ne s’attachant pas par désir possessif et gardant, dans leurs rapports, une équanimité disciplinée, ils cessent d’être liés par le karma et s’acheminent vers la délivrance.
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Equanimity toward both the dear and the disliked, together with sense-control, dissolves karmic bondage; inner discipline and non-attachment are presented as direct means toward liberation.
Śrī Maheśvara is speaking as a spiritual authority, summarizing a criterion of the liberated person: one who treats friend and foe alike and remains self-restrained is said to be freed from the binding consequences of action.
