Adhyāya 122 — Śruta-vṛtta-yukta Brāhmaṇa and the Ethics of Dāna

Maitreya–Vyāsa Saṃvāda

गुणभूतानि भूतानि तत्र त्वमुपभोक्ष्यसे । तत्र ते5हं विनेष्यामि ब्रह्मा त्वं यत्र वैष्यसि

guṇabhūtāni bhūtāni tatra tvam upabhokṣyase | tatra te 'haṃ vineṣyāmi brahmā tvaṃ yatra vaiṣyasi ||

Вьяса сказал: «Там ты будешь вкушать предметы опыта, сознавая, что они — лишь превращения пяти великих элементов, и оставаясь непривязанным. Затем я приду к тебе и передам знание Брахмана; и в какой бы мир ты ни пожелал уйти, в то самое царство я тебя и перенесу».

Educational Q&A

Sense-objects should be experienced without clinging, by seeing them as mere modifications of the elemental world; when dispassion matures, the teacher grants brahma-vidyā and guides the seeker toward the desired (and ultimately highest) destination.

Vyāsa promises the listener that after they live with non-attachment—treating worldly enjoyments as elemental transformations—he will personally return to instruct them in Brahman-knowledge and then lead them to the realm they choose.
