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.
