Śakra–Namuci-saṃvāda: Śoka-nivāraṇa and Daiva-vicāra
Indra and Namuci on grief, composure, and inevitability
इमं गुणसमाहारमात्म भावेन पश्यत: । असम्यग्दर्शनैर्द:खमनन्तं नोपशाम्यति
imaṃ guṇasamāhāram ātma-bhāvena paśyataḥ | asamyagdarśanair duḥkham anantaṃ nopśāmyati ||
ビーシュマは言った。「自己を知るかのように装いながら、この身—ただグナ（guṇa）の集まりにすぎぬもの—をそのまま真の自己（アートマン）と見なす者には、苦は無限となる。誤った知によって見解が歪められているゆえ、その痛みは鎮まらず、苦悩の連鎖は安らぎを得ない。」

Educational Q&A
Mistaking the body—an aggregate of guṇas—for the true Self is a fundamental error. This wrong vision (asamyagdarśana) perpetuates endless suffering; peace arises only when one discerns the Self as distinct from the body and its changing qualities.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Bhishma continues his discourse to Yudhishthira, explaining how erroneous self-identification leads to unending sorrow and why correct insight is necessary for inner peace.
