Mahabharata Shanti Parva – शकुनीनाम इवाकाशे जले वारि चरस्य वा

शकुनीनाम इवाकाशे जले वारि चरस्य वा
यथागतिर न दृश्येत तथा तस्य न संशयः
⚡ Quick Meaning
Just as the path of a bird in the sky is invisible, so is the path of the liberated.
Translations
English Translation
The shloka conveys that the spiritual path of a liberated soul is as elusive as the flight of a bird in the sky. Once liberated, one moves beyond the worldly perceptions, blending into the divine.
हिंदी अनुवाद
यह श्लोक बताता है कि एक मुक्त आत्मा का आध्यात्मिक मार्ग उस पक्षी के उड़ान की तरह अदृश्य होता है। एक बार मुक्ति पाकर, व्यक्ति भौतिक धारणा से परे जाता है और दिव्य में समाहित हो जाता है।
