Shloka 105
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
यस्याव्यक्त न विदितं सगुणं निर्गुणं पुन: । तेन तीर्थानि यज्ञाक्ष सेवितव्या विपश्चिता
yasya avyaktam na viditaṁ saguṇaṁ nirguṇaṁ punaḥ | tena tīrthāni yajñākṣa sevitavyā vipāścitāḥ ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Ang hindi pa nakauunawa sa Di-Nahahayag (Prakṛti), at hindi pa nakakikilala sa Kataas-taasan bilang may katangian (saguṇa) at lampas sa katangian (nirguṇa), ay nararapat—bilang landas ng karunungan—na dumulog sa mga banal na pook at magsagawa ng mga handog na yajña.”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
If one has not yet attained metaphysical insight into the Unmanifest and the Supreme in both saguṇa and nirguṇa modes, one should follow purificatory disciplines—pilgrimage and sacrifice—as practical supports for ethical living and inner refinement.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs the listener on paths of dharma and liberation. Here he recommends ritual and tīrtha-observance as an appropriate course for those who lack higher realization, presenting them as preparatory means.
