Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)

विद्वानुको चाहिये कि वह राजस और तामस दोषोंका सदा ही परित्याग कर दे और सात्विक मार्गका आश्रय लेकर बुद्धिके द्वारा आत्माका साक्षात्कार करे ।।

vidvān uktam ācaret: rājasa-tāmasa-doṣān sadā parityajet, sāttvika-mārgam āśritya buddhyā ātma-sākṣātkāraṃ kuryāt. sarva-bhūteṣu cātmānaṃ sarva-bhūtāni cātmani sampaśyann opalipyeta jale vāricaro yathā.

阇那迦教诲:智者当恒常舍离由激越(rajas)与昏暗(tamas)所生的缺失,依止清净之道(sāttvika),以受持而成的正知直证自我(Ātman)。若能明见一切众生中皆有自我,且自我之中含摄一切众生,便不为世间所染——如水鸟游行于水中而不为水所沾。

Educational Q&A

Cultivate sāttvika clarity by abandoning rājasa and tāmasa tendencies, then use refined buddhi to realize the Self; with the vision of the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self, one lives in the world without inner contamination or attachment.

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher of wisdom, presenting a practical criterion for spiritual maturity: a universal, non-dual vision that yields detachment while still living amid worldly conditions.
