Who · Vidura, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Gāndhārī, Yudhiṣṭhira and Sañjaya
The story · After receiving knowledge of the self from Maitreya, Vidura returned to Hastināpura. He warned Dhṛtarāṣṭra that eternal time had approached and that the body would deteriorate like an old garment despite the desire to live. Dhṛtarāṣṭra left home, and Yudhiṣṭhira later found his uncles and aunt absent when he went to honor them. Sañjaya could not tell him their determination. The account explains that the supreme will of the Lord brings people together and separates them.
What it teaches · No one in the material world can prevent the approach of time and the decline of the body. Understanding this calls one away from bodily attachment toward spiritual realization.
