Questions of the Yaksha

Question : What is the wonderful journey? Who is truly happy? What is the greatest wonder? What is the path? And what is the news
Answer from Yudhistira -
Brahma makes the sun rise and ascend. The Gods perambulate about the Sun. The Dharma sets the Sun. Truth is the actual Sun and the Sun is established in Truth only and its journey is the most wonderful journey.
He who has no debts is truly happy. Day after day countless people die. Yet the living wish to live forever, what can be a greater wonder? Argument leads to no certain conclusion, the Srutis are different from one another; there is not even one Rishi whose opinion can be accepted by all. The truth about Dharma and duty is hid in the cave of our hearts, therefore that alone is the path along which the great have trod. This world full of ignorance is like a pan. The sun is fire, the days and nights are fuel. The months and the seasons constitute the wooden ladle. Time is the cook that is cooking all creatures in that pan.
