Śuka’s Guṇa-Transcendence and Vyāsa’s Consolation (शुकगति-वर्णनम्)
ज्ञानेन कुरुते यत्नं यत्नेन प्राप्पते महत् | महद् द्वन््धप्रमोक्षाय सा सिद्धिरया वयो5तिगा,मनुष्य ज्ञानके द्वारा मुक्ति पानेके लिये यत्न करता है। उस यत्नसे महान् आत्मज्ञानकी प्राप्ति होती है। वह महान् आत्मज्ञान ही सुख-दुःख आदि द्वद्धोंसे छुटकारा दिलानेका साधन है, वही सिद्धि है, जो काल (मृत्यु)-को भी लाँघ जानेवाली है
jñānena kurute yatnaṃ yatnena prāpyate mahat | mahad dvandva-pramokṣāya sā siddhir iyam atyagā ||
ଜନକ କହିଲେ—ଜ୍ଞାନର ଆଶ୍ରୟରେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ମୁକ୍ତି ପାଇଁ ଯତ୍ନ କରେ; ସେହି ଯତ୍ନରୁ ‘ମହତ୍’—ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ମହାନ ଆତ୍ମବୋଧ—ଲାଭ ହୁଏ। ସେଇ ମହାନ ଆତ୍ମବୋଧ ହିଁ ସୁଖ-ଦୁଃଖ ଆଦି ଦ୍ୱନ୍ଦ୍ୱରୁ ମୁକ୍ତିର ସାଧନ; ସେଇ ସିଦ୍ଧି ଯାହା କାଳ—ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ—କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରେ।

Educational Q&A
Knowledge must be made active through disciplined effort; that effort culminates in profound Self-realization, which frees one from the tyranny of opposites like pleasure and pain and is therefore a true spiritual attainment that transcends even death.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher, explaining how sustained striving grounded in knowledge leads to the highest realization and to freedom from worldly dualities.
