For one who has attained a Brāhmaṇa birth, even if he speaks what is highly secret, he is not censured by the gods; therefore I state this to you.

Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: Tell me, Vidura, of that One who is ancient and eternal. How can there be a meeting with him here itself, while one remains in this embodied state?

भगवन्संशयः कश्चिद्धृतराष्ट्रस्य मानसे । यो न शक्यो मया वक्तुं तमस्मै वक्तुमर्हसि । यं श्रुत्वायं मनुष्येन्द्रः सुखदुःखातिगो भवेत्॥५-४१-१०॥
Vidura said: O venerable one, there is a doubt in Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s mind that I cannot articulate; you should explain it to him—on hearing it, this lord of men may transcend pleasure and pain.
