मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
यदा न कुरुते भावं सर्वभूतेषु पापकम् । कर्मणा मनसा वाचा ब्रद्म सम्पद्यते तदा
yadā na kurute bhāvaṃ sarvabhūteṣu pāpakam | karmaṇā manasā vācā brahma sampadyate tadā ||
जेव्हा तो कर्माने, मनाने आणि वाणीने कोणत्याही प्राण्याविषयी पापभाव ठेवत नाही, तेव्हाच तो ब्रह्मभावास प्राप्त होतो.
व्यास उवाच
Liberation is grounded in universal non-harm: when one harbors no sinful or harmful intention toward any being—across deed, thought, and speech—one becomes established in Brahman.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Vyasa states a criterion for Brahman-attainment: the complete absence of harmful intent toward all beings, expressed consistently through action, mind, and speech.
