Adhyāya 180: Jīva, Śarīra, and the Fire Analogy (भृगु–भरद्वाज संवादः)
स्वभावादेव संदृश्या वर्तमाना: प्रवृत्तय: । स्वभावनिरता: सर्वाः परितुष्येन्न केनचित्
svabhāvādeva saṃdṛśyā vartamānāḥ pravṛttayaḥ | svabhāvaniratāḥ sarvāḥ parituṣyenna kenacit ||
「理解すべきはこうだ。過去の業によって形づくられた自らの性（スヴァバーヴァ）ゆえに、衆生に見られる現在の傾向が現れる。万物はそれぞれの性に没入し、他に拠り所はない。この微妙な理を悟ったなら、人はどの境遇にあっても安易に『満足』して怠ってはならない。」

Educational Q&A
Present behavior arises from svabhāva, which is conditioned by past karma; therefore one should not excuse oneself or become complacent, but consciously strive to refine conduct in line with dharma.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction to Yudhishthira, Bhishma explains how innate disposition governs people’s actions and urges a disciplined, non-complacent pursuit of ethical improvement.
