Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Pramāda as Mṛtyu
Chapter 42
तृष्णीम्भूत उपासीत न चेष्टेन्मनसापि च । उपावर्तस्व तद् ब्रह्म अन्तरात्मनि विश्रुतम्
tṛṣṇīmbhūta upāsīta na ceṣṭenmanasāpi ca | upāvartasva tad brahma antarātmani viśrutam ||
Jadilah hening, bebas dari gerak indria seperti ucapan, dan bersembahlah kepada Paramātman; jangan ada gerak bahkan dalam pikiran. Wahai Raja, berbaliklah ke dalam dan, dengan pengertian yang teguh, sembahlah Brahman yang termasyhur itu, yang bersemayam dalam diri batin.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches inward withdrawal and mental stillness as the basis for contemplating Brahman: restrain outward and inward activity, turn attention back into the heart, and worship/meditate on the indwelling Supreme Self.
In the Sanatsujātīya discourse of the Udyoga Parva, the sage Sanatsujāta instructs King Dhṛtarāṣṭra on spiritual discipline—redirecting him from anxiety and worldly agitation toward inner contemplation of Brahman.
