नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
पश्यापश्यं यो न पश्येत् क्षेम्यं तत्त्वं च काश्यप । केवलाकेवलं चाद्यं पञ्चविंशं परं च यत्
paśyāpaśyaṃ yo na paśyet kṣemyaṃ tattvaṃ ca kāśyapa | kevalākevalaṃ cādyaṃ pañcaviṃśaṃ paraṃ ca yat ||
ヤージュニャヴァルキヤは言った。「カシュヤパよ、見る者と見られるものを—すなわち、覚知する自己と無覚知の場とを—識別できぬ者は、吉祥なる実在を真に観ることができない。その者はまた、『ケーヴァラ』（純粋で執着なき自己）と『アケーヴァラ』（プラクリティと結びついた自己）、根源の原理、第二十五の原理（プルシャ）、そして一切を超える至上をも正しく理解しない。正しい知を欠けば、人は来たり去ったりの輪廻に囚われ続ける。」

Educational Q&A
Liberating insight requires discriminating consciousness (the seer/Self) from insentient nature (the seen/Prakṛti and its products). One must also understand the Self as both ‘pure’ (kevala) and ‘associated’ (akevala) in lived experience, recognize the Sāṅkhya framework of principles (including the 25th, Puruṣa), and know the Supreme beyond them; without this right discernment, one remains bound to saṃsāra.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, the sage Yājñavalkya addresses Kāśyapa, emphasizing philosophical discrimination and correct metaphysical knowledge as the basis for welfare and release from repeated birth and death.
