Translation

ଜ୍ଞାନୀ ରଜସ ଓ ତମସଜନିତ ଦୋଷମାନଙ୍କୁ ସଦା ପରିତ୍ୟାଗ କରି, ସାତ୍ତ୍ୱିକ ମାର୍ଗକୁ ଆଶ୍ରୟ କରି, ଶିଷ୍ଟ ବିବେକବୁଦ୍ଧିଦ୍ୱାରା ଆତ୍ମସାକ୍ଷାତ୍କାର କରିବା ଉଚିତ। ଯେ ସମସ୍ତ ଭୂତରେ ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ଏବଂ ଆତ୍ମାରେ ସମସ୍ତ ଭୂତକୁ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ଦେଖେ, ସେ ସଂସାରରେ ଜଳରେ ରହି ମଧ୍ୟ ଜଳରେ ଲିପ୍ତ ନ ହେଉଥିବା ଜଳଚର ପକ୍ଷୀ ପରି ଅଲିପ୍ତ ରହେ।

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Cultivate sāttvika clarity by abandoning rājasa and tāmasa tendencies, then use refined buddhi to realize the Self; with the vision of the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self, one lives in the world without inner contamination or attachment.

What is happening in the narrative?

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher of wisdom, presenting a practical criterion for spiritual maturity: a universal, non-dual vision that yields detachment while still living amid worldly conditions.
