जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
निर्गुण: प्रकृतिं वेद गुणयुक्तामचेतनाम् | ततः केवलधर्मासौ भवत्यव्यक्तदर्शनात्
nirguṇaḥ prakṛtiṁ veda guṇayuktām acetanām | tataḥ kevaladharmāsau bhavaty avyaktadarśanāt ||
वसिष्ठ म्हणाले—जो गुणांपलीकडे गेला आहे, तो त्रिगुणमयी प्रकृतीलाही जड व अचेतन असे जाणतो. मग अव्यक्ताच्या दर्शनाने तो कैवल्य-धर्मात स्थिर होतो; प्रकृतीला आत्म्याशी सर्वथा अभिन्न पाहून तो मोक्ष प्राप्त करतो.
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation arises when one transcends the guṇas and correctly discerns Prakṛti as insentient; through insight into the Unmanifest, one abides in kaivalya—freedom rooted in non-identification with material nature.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing on a Sāṅkhya-style path to mokṣa: the seeker shifts from identifying with guṇa-bound nature to realizing the unmanifest ground and thereby attains the liberative state called kaivalya.
