Sanat Sujata

Mbh.1.2.415	It was here also that Sanat-sujata recited to the anxious and sorrowing monarch the excellent truths of spiritual philosophy.
Mbh.5.41.2220	SECTION XLI Sanat-sujata Parva Dhritarashtra said, If there is anything still left unsaid by thee, O Vidura, say it then, as I am ready to listen to thee.
Mbh.5.41.2223	said, O Dhritarashtra, O thou of the Bharata race, that ancient and immortal Rishi Sanat-sujata who, leading a life perpetual celibacy, hath said that there is no Death, that foremost of all intelligent persons, will expound to thee all the doubts, in thy mind, both expressed and unexpressed'
Mbh.5.42.2236	SECTION XLII Vaisampayana said, Then the illustrious and wise king Dhritarashtra, having applauded the words spoken by Vidura, questioned Sanat-sujata in secret, desirous of obtaining the highest of all knowledge.
Mbh.5.42.2237	And the king questioned the Rishi saying, O Sanat-sujata, I hear that thou art of the opinion that there is no Death.
Mbh.5.42.2240	Sanat-sujata said, Some say, death is avertable by particular acts; others' opinion there is no death; thou hast asked me which of these is true.
Mbh.5.42.2279	Sanat-sujata said, Indeed, he that is without knowledge proceedeth thither by the path indicated by thee, and the Vedas also declare that thither are both bliss and emancipation.
Mbh.5.42.2285	Sanat-sujata said, There is great objection in completely identifying as here the two that are different Creatures always spring from the union of Conditions with what in its essence is without Conditions.
Mbh.5.42.2294	Sanat-sujata said, The fruits of virtue and of perfect inaction are both serviceable in that respect ie, for procuring emancipation.
Mbh.5.42.2305	Sanat-sujata said, Those regenerate persons that take pride in their Yoga practices, like strong men in their own strength, departing hence, shine in the region of Brahman.
Mbh.5.43.2339	Sanat-sujata said, Since the Supreme Soul cannot be penetrated by both the Vedas and the mind, it is for this that Soul itself is called mauna.
Mbh.5.43.2342	Sanat-sujata said, I tell thee truly that the man that hath not restrained his senses is not rescued from his sinful acts by either the Sama or the Rig, or the Yajus Veda.
Mbh.5.43.2346	Sanat-sujata said, O magnanimous one, this universe hath sprung from that Supreme Soul by the union of Conditions respecting name, form, and other attributes.
Mbh.5.43.2354	Dhritarashtra said, O Sanat-sujata, how can ascetic austerities which are all of the same kind, be sometimes successful and sometimes unsuccessful?
Mbh.5.43.2356	Sanat-sujata said, That asceticism which is not stained by desire and other faults is said to be capable of procuring emancipation, and is, therefore, successful, while the asceticism that is stained by vanity and want of true devotion is regarded unsuccessful.
Mbh.5.43.2360	Tell me now, O Sanat-sujata, about asceticism that is stained by faults'
Mbh.5.43.2361	Sanat-sujata said, O king, the twelve, including anger, as also the thirteen kinds of wickedness, are the faults of asceticism that is stained.
Mbh.5.43.2407	Sanat-sujata, There is but one Brahman which is Truth's self.
Mbh.5.44.2450	SECTION XLIV Dhritarashtra said, Excellent, O Sanat-sujata, as this thy discourse is, treating of the attainment of Brahman and the origin of the universe.
Mbh.5.44.2452	Sanat-sujata said, That Brahman about which thou askest me with such joy is not to be attained soon.
Mbh.5.44.2458	Sanat-sujata said, Though residing in and inherent to the mind, the knowledge of Brahman is still unmanifest.
Mbh.5.44.2465	Sanat-sujata said, They, who, residing in the abodes of their preceptors and winning their good will and friendship, practise Brahmacharya austerities, become even in this world the embodiments of Brahman and casting off their bodies are united with the Supreme Soul.
Mbh.5.44.2497	Sanat-sujata said, Indeed, Brahman as perceived may appear as white, red, black, brown, or bright.
Mbh.5.45.2507	SECTION XLV Sanat-sujata said, Sorrow, anger, covetousness, lust, ignorance, laziness, malice, self-importance, continuous desire of gain, affection, jealousy and evil speech, these twelve, O monarch, are grave faults that are destructive of men's lives.
Mbh.5.46.2547	SECTION XLVI Sanat-sujata said, The primary Seed of the universe, called Mahayasas, is destitute of accidents, is pure Knowledge, and blazeth with effulgence.
Mbh.5.47.2650	SECTION XLVII Vaisampayana said, Thus conversing with Sanat-sujata and the learned Vidura, the king passed that night.
