नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
स्वयुक्त: पश्यते ब्रह्म यत् तत्परममव्ययम् । महतस्तमसो मध्ये स्थितं ज्वलनसंनिभम्
svayuktaḥ paśyate brahma yat tat paramam avyayam | mahatas tamaso madhye sthitaṁ jvalana-sannibham ||
阎若婆迦（Yājñavalkya）说道：凡能善自调御，安住于三昧者，便得见梵（Brahman）——至上而不坏的真实。彼在内中、于心之境域放光，如烈焰之火立于广大黑暗之中。

Educational Q&A
Through self-discipline and steady meditative absorption, one gains direct realization of the supreme, imperishable Brahman, experienced as an inner luminosity that dispels the darkness of ignorance.
In the Shānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, the sage Yājñavalkya teaches a contemplative doctrine: the yogin who becomes firmly composed perceives Brahman within the heart, illustrated by the image of a blazing fire shining amid great darkness.
