तृष्णाक्षय-उपदेशः
Instruction on the Cessation of Craving
कस्यैषा वाग् भवेत् सत्या मोक्षो नास्ति गृहादिति । अश्रद्दधानैरप्राज्ञै: सूक्ष्मदर्शनवर्जितै:
kasya eṣā vāg bhavet satyā mokṣo nāsti gṛhād iti | aśraddadhānaiḥ aprājñaiḥ sūkṣma-darśana-varjitaiḥ |
迦毗罗说道：“谁的话能真正算作真实：‘居家之道无有解脱’？此等断言出自无信、无智、缺乏微妙洞见之人。他们把自身内心的不安与疲惫误认作居士之道的过失，于是诋毁持戒有序的居家法，而妄想唯有出离才是通向安宁之路。”
कपिल उवाच
Educational Q&A
Kapila rejects the blanket claim that liberation is impossible for householders. He teaches that such denial arises from lack of faith, poor discernment, and absence of subtle spiritual insight; properly lived gṛhastha-dharma is not inherently opposed to mokṣa.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Kapila speaks critically of those who condemn the householder stage. He argues that their judgment reflects their own limitations rather than the true capacity of the gṛhastha-āśrama to support spiritual realization.
