Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yajña, and Avatāra Instruction
भीष्मपर्वणि तु पञ्चविंशो5ध्याय:ः
avyakto ’yam acintyo ’yam avikāryo ’yam ucyate | tasmād evaṁ viditvainaṁ nānuśocitum arhasi ||
サञ्जयは言った。「この真我は未顕（アヴィヤクタ）であり、思惟の及ばぬもの、変化を受けぬものと説かれる。ゆえに、このように知ったなら、それについて嘆くべきではない。」戦場という倫理の只中で、この教えは、肉体の喪失に根ざすアルジュナの悲嘆を、滅びぬ真我の本性に立つ不動の心へと導き、内に崩れず義務を明らかにせよと促す。

Educational Q&A
The Self (Ātman) is unmanifest, inconceivable, and unchangeable; therefore grief based on the idea of its destruction is misplaced. Right understanding steadies the mind and supports righteous action without despair.
Within the Bhīṣma Parva’s battlefield discourse, Sanjaya reports the teaching that reframes Arjuna’s sorrow: the true Self is not altered by death or change, so lamentation is not warranted.
