Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)
न दर्शने तिष्ठति रूपमस्य पश्यन्ति चैनं सुविशुद्धसत्त्वा: । हितो मनीषी मनसा न तप्यते ये प्रत्रजेयुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्
na darśane tiṣṭhati rūpam asya paśyanti cainaṃ suviśuddha-sattvāḥ | hito manīṣī manasā na tapyate ye pratrajeyur amṛtās te bhavanti | yoginas taṃ prapaśyanti bhagavantaṃ sanātanam ||
ສານັດສຸຈາຕະ ສອນວ່າ ຮູບທີ່ແທ້ຂອງພຣະຜູ້ສູງສຸດ ບໍ່ໄດ້ປາກົດແຈ້ງໃຫ້ສາຍຕາທົ່ວໄປເຫັນ. ມີແຕ່ຜູ້ທີ່ຈິດໃນບໍລິສຸດຢ່າງສົມບູນເທົ່ານັ້ນ ຈຶ່ງຈະເຫັນພຣະອົງໄດ້. ບັນດິດຜູ້ມຸ່ງປະໂຫຍດແກ່ສັດທັງປວງ ແລະຄອບຄຸມໃຈໄດ້ ບໍ່ຖືກຄວາມໂສກໃນໃຈເຜົາໄໝ້; ແລະຜູ້ທີ່ຕັດຂາດສາຍພົວພັນໂລກທັງສິ້ນ ຍ່ອມໄດ້ຮັບອະມະຕະ. ນັ້ນແຫຼະແມ່ນພຣະຜູ້ເປັນນິລັນດອນ ທີ່ຍອກຄີທັງຫຼາຍຮູ້ເຫັນໂດຍກົງ.

Educational Q&A
Direct vision of the Supreme is not available to ordinary perception; it arises for those with purified inner nature, self-controlled mind, and universal benevolence. Complete renunciation of worldly attachments culminates in ‘deathlessness’—liberation—realized by yogins as the eternal Lord.
In the Udyoga Parva’s Sanatsujātīya discourse, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a philosophical interlude amid the war-preparations) on liberation: who can truly ‘see’ the Supreme, what inner qualities are required, and how renunciation and yoga lead to realization.
