मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
यदा न कुरुते भावं सर्वभूतेषु पापकम् । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा ब्रद्म सम्पद्यते तदा
yadā na kurute bhāvaṃ sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam | karmaṇā manasā vācā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
Vyāsa dit : Lorsqu’un homme n’entretient aucune intention pécheresse envers aucun être vivant—ni par l’acte, ni par la pensée, ni par la parole—alors, à cet instant même, il atteint l’état de Brahman. Cet enseignement place la non-nuisance intérieure au centre de la délivrance : la pureté ne se mesure pas seulement aux actes, mais tout autant à l’esprit et aux mots, et à l’attitude universelle envers toutes les créatures.

Educational Q&A
Liberation is grounded in universal non-harm: when one harbors no sinful or harmful intention toward any being—across deed, thought, and speech—one becomes established in Brahman.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Vyasa states a criterion for Brahman-attainment: the complete absence of harmful intent toward all beings, expressed consistently through action, mind, and speech.
