Shloka 75
Womb-Suffering and the Path to Liberation
Dialogue of Wisdom, Meditation, and Discernment
क्षमाशांतिसमायुक्तः स विवेकः समागतः । वीतरागमुवाचेदमाहूतोहं समागतः
kṣamāśāṃtisamāyuktaḥ sa vivekaḥ samāgataḥ | vītarāgamuvācedamāhūtohaṃ samāgataḥ
วิเวกะผู้ประกอบด้วยความอดกลั้นและความสงบภายในได้มาถึง แล้ววีตราคะกล่าวว่า “เมื่อถูกเรียก ข้าพเจ้าจึงมาถึงแล้ว”
Vītarāga (speaks in the second half of the verse); the narrator reports Viveka’s arrival in the first half.
Concept: Viveka (discernment) naturally carries kṣamā (forgiveness) and śānti (peace), and it responds to the call of vītarāgatā (dispassion).
Application: When triggered, invoke ‘viveka + kṣamā’: pause, discern what truly matters, forgive quickly; treat dispassion as freedom to love God more steadily rather than as indifference to beings.

FAQs
They are presented as personified spiritual qualities: Viveka (discernment) arrives “endowed with forgiveness and peace,” and Vītarāga (freedom from attachment) responds as one who has answered a summons.
The verse links true discernment (viveka) with virtues like forgiveness (kṣamā) and tranquility (śānti), suggesting that clarity of judgment is inseparable from inner calm and moral restraint.
By pairing viveka (right discrimination) with vītarāga (dispassion), the verse points to a classic liberation framework: insight supported by inner peace and freedom from craving.
