Shloka 14
अव्यक्त–प्रकृति–इन्द्रियविचारः
The Unmanifest, Prakṛtis, and the Sense-Complex
जहाति दारांश्व॒ जहाति सम्पद: पदं च यान॑ विविधाश्ष या: क्रिया: । त्रिविष्टपे जातमतिर्यदा नर- स्तदास्य बुद्धिर्विषयेषु भिद्यते
jahāti dārān svaṁ jahāti sampadaḥ padaṁ ca yānāni vividhāś ca yāḥ kriyāḥ | triviṣṭape jātamatir yadā naraḥ tadāsya buddhir viṣayeṣu bhidyate ||
Parāśara dit : Lorsque l’esprit d’un homme s’éveille vers l’état le plus élevé—vers le faîte du ciel—son intelligence se détache des objets des sens. Alors il renonce à l’épouse et aux liens du foyer, à la richesse, au rang, aux véhicules, et aux multiples activités mondaines qu’il poursuivait jadis, pour se tourner vers la voie de la délivrance.
पराशर उवाच
Educational Q&A
True aspiration for the highest good brings dispassion: the intellect withdraws from sense-objects, and one naturally relinquishes attachments to family ties, wealth, social rank, comforts, and habitual worldly activities.
Parāśara is instructing about the inner shift that occurs when a person becomes intent on the supreme goal: the mind turns away from worldly enjoyments, leading to voluntary renunciation of possessions and roles.
