अध्वर्यु–यति संवादः
Adhvaryu–Yati Dialogue on Svabhāva, Ahiṃsā, and Mokṣa
समस्य सर्वभूतेषु निर्ममस्य जितात्मन: । समन्तात् परिमुक्तस्य न भयं विद्यते क्वचित्
samasya sarvabhūteṣu nirmamasya jitātmanaḥ | samantāt parimuktasya na bhayaṃ vidyate kvacit ||
Brahmana itu berkata: Bagi orang yang seimbang terhadap semua makhluk, bebas daripada rasa memiliki, menguasai diri, dan terlepas sepenuhnya daripada belenggu di setiap arah, ketakutan tidak timbul—pada bila-bila masa dan di mana-mana jua. Pokok etikanya ialah: ketakutan dipelihara oleh keterikatan dan pengenalan diri; apabila kedua-duanya dilepaskan melalui penguasaan batin dan kesamarataan sejagat, minda menjadi teguh dan tidak tergoncang.
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
Fearlessness is the fruit of inner freedom: when a person becomes even-minded toward all beings, abandons possessiveness (‘mine-ness’), and masters the self, fear has no foothold anywhere.
A Brahmin speaker delivers a reflective teaching on spiritual psychology: bondage arises from attachment and egoic ownership, while complete release and equanimity lead to a state where fear cannot occur.
