Nārada’s Darśana of Viśvarūpa Nārāyaṇa and the Caturmūrti Doctrine (नारदस्य नारायणदर्शनं चतुर्मूर्तिविचारश्च)
बाल्याद् वा संशयाद् वापि भयादू वाप्यविमोक्षजात् | उत्पन्ने चापि विज्ञाने नाधिगच्छति तां गतिम्
bālyād vā saṁśayād vāpi bhayād vāpyavimokṣajāt | utpanne cāpi vijñāne nādhigacchati tāṁ gatim |
阇那迦王说道:“或因稚拙未熟,或因疑惑,或因妄想‘解脱不可得’而生的恐惧——即便真实之知已然生起,人仍不能抵达那至高境界。此等内在软弱遮蔽智慧之果,使人不得解脱。”
जनक उवाच
Knowledge alone is not enough if it is undermined by immaturity, persistent doubt, or fear that liberation is impossible. These mental obstacles prevent knowledge from ripening into liberation; steadiness and inner maturity are required for the highest attainment.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, King Janaka speaks as a teacher of renunciation and wisdom, warning that even after insight arises, one may fail to reach the final goal if the mind remains trapped in childish tendencies, skepticism, or anxious fear about moksha.
