यदा तु शुद्धं निजरूपि सर्वं कर्मक्षये ज्ञानम् अपास्तदोषम् तदा हि संकल्पतरोः फलानि भवन्ति नो वस्तुषु वस्तुभेदाः
yadā tu śuddhaṃ nijarūpi sarvaṃ karmakṣaye jñānam apāstadoṣam tadā hi saṃkalpataroḥ phalāni bhavanti no vastuṣu vastubhedāḥ
Namun ketika, dengan lenyapnya karma, pengetahuan menjadi murni—berdiam dalam hakikatnya sendiri, meresapi segalanya, dan bebas dari cela—maka buahnya laksana buah pohon pengabul-tekad; sesungguhnya tiada lagi pemisahan ‘benda’ dan ‘benda’ di dalam objek apa pun.
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse links liberation to karma-kṣaya: when karmic residues are exhausted, knowledge becomes stainless and culminates in the direct realization where apparent divisions no longer bind.
Parāśara describes jñāna as śuddha, self-abiding (nija-rūpi), and free from defects; such knowledge naturally bears fruit—like a wish-fulfilling tree—without dependence on external distinctions.
The teaching implies a single supreme ground beneath all appearances; in the Vishnu Purana that ultimate reality is Vishnu, in whom perceived multiplicity is ultimately resolved.
