Shloka 57
मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
त्रिवर्गो यस्य विदित: प्रेक्ष्य यश्चन विमुडचति । अन्विष्य मनसा युक्तस्तत्त्वदर्शी निरुत्सुक:
trivargo yasya viditaḥ prekṣya yaś ca na vimūḍhyati | anvīṣya manasā yuktaḥ tattvadarśī nirutsukaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「人生の三つの目的――ダルマ（dharma）、アルタ（artha）、カーマ（kāma）――を明晰に知り、熟慮ののちそれらに惑わされず、心によって真我（Self）を探究してヨーガ（yoga）により自らを律し、真我ならざるものへの落ち着きなき渇望を捨て去った者こそ、真に実在を観る者である。」
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
True wisdom is not merely knowing dharma, artha, and kāma, but examining them without delusion and then turning inward: through disciplined inquiry into the Self, one becomes free from craving for non-Self objects and thus becomes a tattvadarśī (seer of reality).
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and right living, Bhishma continues advising Yudhiṣṭhira by defining the marks of a genuine knower: one who understands worldly aims, is not confused by them, and pursues Self-knowledge with yogic discipline and detachment.
