Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Vana Parva Chapter 211 · Verse 12
Sanskrit Original
पश्यतः सर्वभूतानि सर्वावस्थासु सर्वदा। ब्रह्मभूतस्य संयोगो नाशुभेनोपपद्यते॥ अज्ञानमूलं तं क्लेशमतिवृत्तस्य पौरुषम्। लोकवृत्तिप्रकाशेन ज्ञानमार्गेण गम्यते॥ अनादिनिधनं जन्तुमात्मयोनिं सदाव्ययम्। अनौपम्यममूर्तं च भगवानाह बुद्धिमान्॥
He who is bound to the bonds of his previous Karma, although learned in the highest spiritual wisdom, is cognizant only of his own soul's objective existence, but the person whose soul is never affected by the objective conditions around is never subject to ills, owing to its absorption in the primal spirit of Brahma. When a person has overcome illusion, his manly virtues consisting the essence of spiritual wisdom turn to spiritual enlightenment which illuminates the intelligence of all beings. Such a being is called by the omnipotent, the intelligent one who is without beginning and without end, selfexistence, immutable, incorporeal and incomparable.
