कार्त्तिकेय-जन्मोपक्रमः

Prelude to the Birth of Kārttikeya/Skanda

सात्त्विकस्त्वथ सम्बुद्धो लोकवृत्तेन क्लिश्यते । यदा बुध्यति बोद्धव्यं लोकवृत्तं जुगुप्सते,सात््विक पुरुष ज्ञानसम्पन्न हो रजोगुण और तमोगुणके कार्यभूत लौकिक व्यवहारमें पड़नेका कष्ट नहीं उठाता। वह जब जाननेयोग्य तत्त्वको जान लेता है, तब उसे सांसारिक व्यवहारसे ग्लानि हो जाती है

sāttvikas tv atha sambuddho lokavṛttena kliśyate | yadā budhyati boddhavyaṃ lokavṛttaṃ jugupsate ||

ผู้ตั้งมั่นในสัตตวะ ครั้นตื่นรู้โดยสมบูรณ์แล้ว ย่อมไม่ถูกวิถีโลกอันเป็นผลแห่งรชัสและตมัสทำให้ระทมอีกต่อไป. เมื่อเขารู้แจ้งสัจจะอันควรรู้แล้ว เขาย่อมเกิดความเอือมระอาและรังเกียจต่อความประพฤติแบบโลกีย์.

Educational Q&A

When a person becomes firmly established in sattva and gains true discernment, worldly conventions no longer cause inner distress; on realizing the highest knowable truth, one naturally develops dispassion and even aversion toward merely mundane pursuits.

In the Vyādha’s instruction, he explains the inner transformation that follows awakening: the enlightened, sattva-dominant person sees through ordinary social behavior (lokavṛtta) and turns away from it after realizing what is truly worth knowing.
