नैष्कर्म्य वा समास्थाय ज्ञानतृप्तो जितेन्द्रिय: । कालाकाडुक्षी चरँंल्लोके ब्रह्म॒ुभूयाय कल्पते,अथवा जो ज्ञानसे तृप्त जितेन्द्रिय पुरुष नैष्कर्म्यका आश्रय लेकर कालकी प्रतीक्षा करता हुआ अनासक्तभावसे लोकमें विचरता रहता है, वह ब्रह्मभावको प्राप्त होनेमें समर्थ होता है
naiṣkarmyaṁ vā samāsthāya jñāna-tṛpto jitendriyaḥ | kālākāṅkṣī caraṁl loke brahma-bhūyāya kalpate ||
毗度罗说:“又或者,安住于无欲之业的修持,因真实智慧而满足,已降伏诸根的人,安然等待自己命定之时,在世间行走而不染著;此人堪能证得梵(Brahman)之境。”
विदुर उवाच
A person who is fulfilled by wisdom, has mastered the senses, and lives without attachment—either through the stance of naiṣkarmya (non-selfish action/non-doership) or through renunciant composure—becomes qualified for liberation, described here as attaining Brahmanhood.
In Vidura’s counsel during the Udyoga Parva, he presents an ethical-spiritual ideal: even while living in society, one can remain unattached, patient before destiny, and inwardly steady; such a life is praised as leading toward the highest goal.
