Vidyā–Avidyā and the Twenty-Fifth Principle
Sāṃkhya–Yoga Clarification
तथा हि बुद्धियुक्तानां शाश्रृतं ब्रह्मवादिनाम् । अन्विच्छतां शुभं कर्म नराणां त्यजतां सुखम्
tathā hi buddhiyuktānāṃ śāśvataṃ brahmavādinām | anvicchatāṃ śubhaṃ karma narāṇāṃ tyajatāṃ sukham ||
诚然,那些宣说梵(Brahman)之圣者,具足恒定而平衡之慧—追求并奉行吉祥善业,却舍离从中求取个人乐受之欲—唯彼等得至永恒之境。此教诲强调:以纪律而行,不贪著其果报,乃通向至善之伦理正道。
पराशर उवाच
Perform wholesome (śubha) action with a disciplined, balanced intellect, while renouncing the craving for personal pleasure as the reward; such fruitless, equanimous action leads to the eternal goal.
Parāśara is instructing his listener in a didactic passage of the Śānti Parva, explaining the conduct of brahmavādins: they continue to pursue auspicious duties but abandon attachment to सुख (personal enjoyment), thereby attaining the eternal state.
