Manu’s Instruction
धर्म उदाच अलं देहे मनः कृत्वा त्यक्त्वा देह सुखी भव । गच्छ लोकानरजसो यत्र गत्वा न शोचसि
dharma uvāca—alaṃ dehe manaḥ kṛtvā tyaktvā dehaḥ sukhī bhava | gaccha lokān arajaso yatra gatvā na śocasi ||
ທຳມະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: «ພໍແລ້ວ ຢ່າຜູກໃຈໄວ້ກັບຮ່າງກາຍ. ຈົ່ງລະທິ້ງຄວາມຍຶດວ່າ “ນີ້ແມ່ນຕົນ” ໃນກາຍ ແລ້ວຢູ່ໃນຄວາມສະຫງົບ. ຈົ່ງໄປສູ່ໂລກອັນບໍລິສຸດ ປາສຈາກຝຸ່ນແຫ່ງຣາຊະ (ກິເລດແຫ່ງຕັນຫາ) ທີ່ເມື່ອໄປຮອດແລ້ວ ເຈົ້າຈະບໍ່ໂສກອີກ».
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Dharma instructs the seeker to stop clinging to bodily identity and to cultivate detachment; by renouncing fixation on the body and moving toward a stainless, passion-free state (arajas), one reaches a condition where grief no longer arises.
In a didactic dialogue within Śānti Parva, Dharma addresses a brāhmaṇa/ascetic, urging him to abandon attachment to the body and to seek higher, purified realms of being—described as free from rajas—where sorrow is transcended.
