कपिल–स्यूमरश्मि संवादः
Kapila and Syūmaraśmi on Renunciation, Householder Support, and Epistemic Authority
सर्वभूतात्मभूतस्य सर्वभूतानि पश्यत: । देवा5पि मार्गे मुहान्ति अपदस्य पदैषिण:
sarvabhūtātmabhūtasya sarvabhūtāni paśyataḥ | devā api mārge muhyanti apadasya padaiṣiṇaḥ ||
Tūladhāra berkata: “Bagi seseorang yang telah menjadi Diri bagi semua makhluk dan melihat segala makhluk sebagai tidak berbeza daripada dirinya, tiada lagi ‘tujuan istimewa’ untuk dicapai. Dia menjadi bersifat Brahman. Bahkan para dewa, walaupun berusaha menjejak tapak kakinya, menjadi bingung tentang jalannya—tidak mampu mengetahui arah perjalanannya.”
तुलाधार उवाच
Educational Q&A
When a person realizes the Self as present in all beings and sees no separation, the notion of attaining a particular heavenly or limited goal falls away; such a knower abides as Brahman, beyond traceable worldly trajectories.
In Tulādāra’s instruction, he describes the state of the liberated knower: even the gods, imagined as capable of tracking destinies, cannot comprehend or ‘follow’ the movement of one who has transcended ordinary paths and destinations through Brahman-realization.
