Shloka 7
Brahmopadeśa on Saṃnyāsa, Tapas, and Jñāna (ब्रह्मोपदेशः—संन्यासतपोज्ञानविमर्शः)
यो विद्वान् सहवासं च विवासं चैव पश्यति । तथैवैकत्वनानात्वे स दुःखात् प्रतिमुच्यते,जो विद्वान संयोगको भी वियोगके रूपमें ही देखता है तथा वैसे ही नानात्वमें एकत्व देखता है, वह दुःखसे सर्वथा मुक्त हो जाता है
yo vidvān sahavāsaṃ ca vivāsaṃ caiva paśyati | tathaivaikatva-nānātve sa duḥkhāt pratimucyate ||
वायू म्हणाले—जो ज्ञानी सहवासालाही वियोगस्वरूपच पाहतो आणि नानात्वातही एकत्वाचे दर्शन करतो, तो दुःखातून पूर्णपणे मुक्त होतो।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Grief diminishes when one recognizes impermanence in relationships (togetherness already contains the certainty of separation) and also discerns a deeper unity beneath the world’s many forms. This balanced vision—of transience and underlying oneness—loosens attachment and frees the mind from sorrow.
In the Ashvamedhika Parva, Vāyudeva speaks as a teacher, offering a reflective instruction meant to steady the listener’s mind: interpret life’s unions and separations with wisdom, and contemplate unity amid diversity, so that sorrow does not take hold.
