Mahabharata — Udyoga Parva, Shloka 25
Sanatsujāta on the Imperceptible Eternal Light (यत्तच्छुक्रं महज्ज्योतिः)
एवं य: सर्वभूतेषु आत्मानमनुपश्यति । अन्यत्रान्यत्र युक्तेषु किं स शोचेत् तत: परम्
evaṁ yaḥ sarvabhūteṣu ātmānam anupaśyati | anyatrānyatra yukteṣu kiṁ sa śocet tataḥ param ||
Wika ni Sanatsujāta: Ang sinumang tunay na nakakakita sa Sarili (Ātman) sa lahat ng nilalang—bagaman ang mga nilalang ay wari’y abala sa iba’t ibang kalagayan at pagkakabit—ano pa ang ikalulungkot niya? Kapag nakita na ang iisang pinagmumulan sa ilalim ng pagkakaiba-iba, wala nang masisilungan ang dalamhati.
सनत्सुजात उवाच
Educational Q&A
Grief is overcome through Self-knowledge: when one realizes the same Self present in all beings, the apparent separations that fuel lamentation lose their force, and sorrow has no further basis.
In the Sanatsujātīya section of Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs (in a philosophical discourse) that insight into the Self’s presence in all beings leads to freedom from śoka (lamentation), even amid the diverse engagements and conditions seen in the world.
