Setelah menyaksikan Yang Tidak Termanifest (Avyakta), yang hadir sama rata dalam semua makhluk, dalam wujud setipis zarah debu serbuk sari, kedua-dua pihak dalam dialog—mengetahui derita yang terucap dengan suara terketar—mengalami sukacita tertinggi.

Cosmic Boar Symbolism: {"has_symbolism":true,"symbolic_interpretation":"The Unmanifest (avyakta) equally present in all beings, perceived in an ultra-subtle ‘pollen-particle’ form, aligns with the cosmic boar’s role as revealer of the hidden ground of manifestation; the boar’s ‘digging up’ becomes ‘discovering’ the avyakta within all.","yajna_varaha_imagery":"Pollen-particle subtlety parallels the ‘tanmātra’ level; yajña imagery: the unseen fire within the sticks—present equally—becomes manifest through friction (discernment).","vedantic_connection":"Sāṅkhya-Vedānta bridge: avyakta as prakṛti/causal ground; equal presence indicates non-partial pervasion of the inner principle; joy arises from samadarśana (equal vision) and release from fear/distress."}
Philosophical Teaching: {"has_teaching":true,"teaching_type":"Metaphysics and spiritual psychology","core_concept":"The Unmanifest pervades all beings equally; realizing this yields supreme joy and dissolves trembling distress.","practical_application":"Practice samadarśana: regard all beings as sharing the same subtle ground; use meditation on the ‘subtle as pollen’ presence to calm fear and agitation."}
