Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
आत्मवत् सर्वभूतेषु यश्नरेन्नियत: शुचि: । अमानी निरभीमान: सर्वतो मुक्त एव सः
ātmavat sarvabhūteṣu yaśnarenniyataḥ śuciḥ | amānī nirabhīmānaḥ sarvato mukta eva saḥ ||
ब्राह्मण म्हणाला—जो नियमपरायण व पवित्र राहून सर्व भूतांशी स्वतःसारखे वागतो, ज्याला मानाची इच्छा नाही आणि जो अभिमानरहित आहे, तो सर्वथा मुक्तच आहे.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Liberation is characterized by ethical universality and inner humility: disciplined purity, empathy toward all beings (treating them as oneself), and freedom from the craving for honor and from pride.
A brāhmaṇa is instructing the listener on the marks of a truly free person, defining liberation not as status or ritual display but as a stable inner condition expressed through compassionate conduct and absence of ego.
