Shloka 22
निमेषमात्रमपि हि वयो गच्छन्न तिष्ठति । स्वशरीरेष्वनित्येषु नित्यं किमनुचिन्तयेत्,आयु निरन्तर बीती जा रही है। वह पलभर भी ठहरती नहीं है। जब अपना शरीर ही अनित्य है, तब इस संसारकी किस वस्तुको नित्य समझा जाय
nimeṣamātram api hi vayo gacchan na tiṣṭhati | svaśarīreṣv anityeṣu nityaṃ kim anucintayet |
ନିମେଷମାତ୍ର ପାଇଁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆୟୁ ଠିଆ ରହେ ନାହିଁ; ସେ ନିରନ୍ତର ଗତି କରି ଯାଏ। ଯେତେବେଳେ ନିଜ ଶରୀର ହିଁ ଅନିତ୍ୟ, ତେବେ ଏହି ସଂସାରର କେଉଁ ବସ୍ତୁକୁ ନିତ୍ୟ ଭାବି ଚିନ୍ତନ କରିବା?

Educational Q&A
Time and lifespan move relentlessly; since the body itself is impermanent, one should not cling to worldly things as if they were eternal, but cultivate right understanding and detachment.
In the Shānti Parva’s instruction-oriented setting, Nārada delivers a reflective teaching that redirects attention from transient bodily and worldly concerns toward enduring values and insight.
