ကပိလက ပြောသည်– «သဗ္ဒဗြဟ္မန်—ဝေဒဝചനနှင့် စည်းကမ်းတကျ လေ့လာမှု—၌ အပြည့်အဝ ကျွမ်းကျင်သွားသူသည် ထိုအရာအားဖြင့်ပင် ပရဗြဟ္မန်ကို ရောက်နိုင်သည်။ အကြောင်းမူကား ဤကိုယ်ခန္ဓာသည် ဝေဒ၌ မိမိပြုလုပ်သကဲ့သို့ပင် ဖန်တီးခံရသည်။ ဝေဒစည်းကမ်းဖြင့် အတွင်းစိတ်ကို ပုံဖော်သကဲ့သို့ ကိုယ်ခန္ဓာရှိနေမှုလည်း ထိုအတိုင်း ပုံသွင်းခံရသည်»။

Educational Q&A

Mastery of the Vedic word (śabda-brahman) is presented as a disciplined means that can culminate in realization of the Supreme Brahman; inner formation through sacred learning and practice shapes one’s embodied life and spiritual capacity.

In the Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, Kapila is teaching about the relation between Vedic sound/learning and ultimate realization, emphasizing that spiritual practice is not merely intellectual: it forms the practitioner’s very embodied condition and readiness for higher knowledge.
