Shloka 101
नारद–शुक संवादः
Impermanence, Svabhāva, and Śuka’s Resolve for Yoga
राजेन्द्र! नरेश्वर! उन्होंने सम्पूर्ण सांख्य
paśyanti yogāḥ sāṅkhyāś ca svaśāstra-kṛta-lakṣaṇāḥ | iṣṭāniṣṭa-vimuktaṃ hi tasthau brahma parātparam, yudhiṣṭhira ||
毗湿摩说道：“尤提施提罗啊，通达数论与瑜伽之贤者，依各自论典所示之相而观，了知至上梵（Brahman）全然超越‘可欲’与‘不可欲’的一切二分——无所偏爱，亦无所憎厌——安住不动，超出至高之上。”
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the highest reality (Brahman) is beyond the opposites of liking and disliking (iṣṭa/aniṣṭa). True insight—whether framed through Sāṅkhya’s discrimination or Yoga’s discipline—recognizes Brahman as unwavering, unaffected by preference, aversion, or worldly valuation.
In the Śānti Parva instruction, Bhīṣma continues advising King Yudhiṣṭhira on liberation-oriented wisdom. He cites the shared conclusion of Sāṅkhya and Yoga authorities: that Brahman is supremely transcendent and stable, and that liberation involves seeing beyond the mind’s habitual judgments of desirable and undesirable.
