मोक्षधर्मः — स्नेहपाशच्छेदः
Mokṣa-dharma: Cutting the Bonds of Attachment
अनुरोधविरोधाभ्यां सम: स्यादचलो ध्रुव: । सुकृतं दुष्कृतं चोभे नानुरुध्येत कर्मणा
anurodha-virodhābhyāṃ samaḥ syād acalo dhruvaḥ | sukṛtaṃ duṣkṛtaṃ cobhe nānurudhyet karmaṇā ||
ພີສະມະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ເມື່ອຜູ້ຄົນຂໍຮ້ອງ ຫຼືຄັດຄ້ານ ກໍໃຫ້ຢູ່ຢ່າງເທົ່າທຽມໃນໃຈ ບໍ່ຫວັ່ນໄຫວ ແລະໝັ້ນຄົງ. ແລະໂດຍການກະທຳຂອງຕົນ ຢ່າໃຫ້ເປັນຜູ້ຕາມທັງບຸນແລະບາບ—ຄືຢ່າກະທຳເພາະຢາກໄດ້ຜົນຕອບແທນ ຫຼືເພາະແຮງຜັກດັນອັນຜິດ—ແຕ່ໃຫ້ກະທຳດ້ວຍດຸນຍະພາບພາຍໃນອັນໝັ້ນຄົງ.

Educational Q&A
Maintain equanimity when others urge or oppose you, and let your conduct be steady and principled—neither driven by the lure of merit/reward nor pulled into sin; act from inner steadiness rather than external pressure.
In the Shanti Parva’s dharma-instruction setting, Bhishma is advising on right conduct and mental discipline, emphasizing steadiness of mind and independence from social pressure and from the twin pulls of craving for merit and inclination toward wrongdoing.
