लोकसृष्टं प्रपश्यन्तो न मुह्यंति विचक्षणाः । तत्र दुःखविमोक्षार्थं प्रयतेत विचक्षणः ॥ ८६ ॥
lokasṛṣṭaṃ prapaśyanto na muhyaṃti vicakṣaṇāḥ | tatra duḥkhavimokṣārthaṃ prayateta vicakṣaṇaḥ || 86 ||
ਜੋ ਵਿਵੇਕੀ ਸੰਸਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਰਚਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ (ਸੰਸਕਾਰ-ਬੱਧ) ਪ੍ਰਗਟਾਵਾ ਸਮਝ ਕੇ ਵੇਖਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਮੋਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੈਂਦੇ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਬੁੱਧਿਮਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਇਸੇ ਜੀਵਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੁੱਖ-ਮੁਕਤੀ ਲਈ ਯਤਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ।

FAQs
It teaches viveka: when one recognizes the world as a conditioned creation, delusion weakens, and the seeker should actively pursue duḥkha-vimokṣa—liberation from sorrow.

No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline—cultivating discernment and sustained effort toward moksha.
