Shloka 7
Brahmopadeśa on Saṃnyāsa, Tapas, and Jñāna (ब्रह्मोपदेशः—संन्यासतपोज्ञानविमर्शः)
यो विद्वान् सहवासं च विवासं चैव पश्यति । तथैवैकत्वनानात्वे स दुःखात् प्रतिमुच्यते,जो विद्वान संयोगको भी वियोगके रूपमें ही देखता है तथा वैसे ही नानात्वमें एकत्व देखता है, वह दुःखसे सर्वथा मुक्त हो जाता है
yo vidvān sahavāsaṃ ca vivāsaṃ caiva paśyati | tathaivaikatva-nānātve sa duḥkhāt pratimucyate ||
ヴァーユは言った。「賢者は、たとえ共に在ることの中にも離別の性があると見、また同様に、見かけの多様のうちに底にある一如を見抜く。その明晰な洞察によって、人は悲しみから完全に解き放たれる。」
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Grief diminishes when one recognizes impermanence in relationships (togetherness already contains the certainty of separation) and also discerns a deeper unity beneath the world’s many forms. This balanced vision—of transience and underlying oneness—loosens attachment and frees the mind from sorrow.
In the Ashvamedhika Parva, Vāyudeva speaks as a teacher, offering a reflective instruction meant to steady the listener’s mind: interpret life’s unions and separations with wisdom, and contemplate unity amid diversity, so that sorrow does not take hold.
