मृत्योर्ब्रह्मणा नियोजनम् — The Commissioning of Mṛtyu by Brahmā
विशोको निर्मम: शान्त: प्रसन्नात्मा विमत्सर: | षड्भिल॑क्षणवानेतै: समग्र: पुनरेष्यति
viśoko nirmamaḥ śāntaḥ prasannātmā vimatsaraḥ | ṣaḍbhir lakṣaṇavān etaiḥ samagraḥ punar eṣyati ||
Wika ni Vyāsa: “Walang dalamhati, walang pag-aangkin at pagkapit (mamatā), payapa, maliwanag at masaya ang kalooban, walang inggit, at may kasiyahang may pagkapayak—ang taong may anim na tandang ito ay nagiging buo muli at nakakamit ang pinakamataas na kaganapan, nagbabalik sa kabuuan sa pamamagitan ng kaalamang nagpapalaya.”
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Liberation-oriented wholeness arises from cultivating six inner virtues: freedom from grief, non-possessiveness, tranquility, clarity/cheerfulness of mind, and absence of envy (with the verse presenting these as defining marks of a spiritually complete person).
In the instruction-heavy Shānti Parva, Vyāsa states a concise criterion for spiritual maturity: a person recognized by these inner qualities becomes ‘samagra’—integrated and fulfilled—moving toward the highest end (mokṣa) through knowledge and inner discipline.
