संजय बोले—“जिस समय तेरी बुद्धि मोह रूपी दलदल को भली-भाँति पार कर जाएगी, उस समय तू सुने हुए और आगे सुनने में आने वाले—इस लोक और परलोक के भोगों तथा प्रतिज्ञाओं—सबके प्रति निर्वेद, वैराग्य को प्राप्त हो जाएगा।”

Educational Q&A
When the intellect becomes free from delusion, a natural detachment arises toward all pleasure-centered promises—whether already known from tradition or newly encountered. This dispassion is a sign of inner clarity and readiness for liberation-oriented living.
In the Gita’s battlefield dialogue, Sanjaya reports the teaching addressed to Arjuna: as Arjuna’s understanding matures beyond confusion, he will no longer be driven by worldly or otherworldly rewards and will develop steady dispassion.
