Shloka 29
परिव्राजक-आचारः (Conduct of the Wandering Renunciant) — Mahābhārata, Śānti-parva 269
सर्वमानन्त्यमासीद् वै एवं नः शाश्वती श्रुति: । तेषामपेततृष्णानां निर्णिक्तानां शुभात्मनाम्
sarvam ānantyam āsīd vai evaṃ naḥ śāśvatī śrutiḥ | teṣām apetatṛṣṇānāṃ nirṇiktānāṃ śubhātmanām ||
Wika ni Kapila: “Tunay ngang ang lahat ay naging walang-hanggan; ganyan ang walang-kupas na aral na aming narinig. Para sa mga mararangal ang loob na ang pagnanasa ay nalaglag na at nalinis na, ang lahat ng karanasan ay nakikitang nilulukuban ng Walang-Hanggan.”

Educational Q&A
When craving is extinguished and the self is purified, the seeker’s vision becomes aligned with the Infinite; the world is apprehended as pervaded by boundless Brahman rather than as a field for desire and aversion.
In the Shanti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Kapila is describing the state of realized, purified sages: free from thirst and inwardly cleansed, they perceive everything as ‘anantya’—the boundless reality—consistent with the perennial śruti/tradition.
