Inquiry into Śreyas, Dharma, and Karma
ये तु च्युता: सिद्धलोकात् क्रमेण तेषां गति यान्ति तथा<<नुपूर्व्या जीवा: परे तद्धलतुल्यरूपा: स्वं स्वं विधि यान्ति विपर्ययेण
ye tu cyutāḥ siddhalokāt krameṇa teṣāṃ gatiṃ yānti tathānupūrvyāḥ | jīvāḥ pare taddhalatulyarūpāḥ svaṃ svaṃ vidhiṃ yānti viparyayeṇa ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ຜູ້ທີ່ຕົກຈາກໂລກສິດທະ ຍ່ອມລົງມາຕາມລໍາດັບ. ແລະບັນດາຊີວິດຜູ້ມີການຝຶກຝົນທາງຈິດວິນຍານໃກ້ຄຽງກັນ ກໍຍ່ອມເຄື່ອນຈາກໂລກໜຶ່ງໄປອີກໂລກໜຶ່ງເປັນຂັ້ນໆ ຍົກຂຶ້ນສູງ ແລະໃນທ້າຍສຸດໄດ້ຮັບເສັ້ນທາງການໄປດຽວກັນກັບສິດທະເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ. ແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ບໍ່ເປັນເຊັ່ນນັ້ນ—ເນື່ອງຈາກນິສັຍທີ່ຂັດແຍ້ງ—ຍ່ອມໄປສູ່ຈຸດໝາຍຂອງຕົນຕາມວິຖີກົງກັນຂ້າມ.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Spiritual destiny (gati) follows one’s inner discipline and disposition: those with yogic strength progress through realms in an ordered ascent and can regain the Siddhas’ path, while those lacking such steadiness move in a contrary direction toward lower or different outcomes.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma and liberation-oriented conduct, he explains a cosmological-ethical principle: beings may fall from a perfected realm, yet through comparable practice they can again rise stepwise; otherwise, due to contrary tendencies, they reach different destinations.
