Educational Q&A
Lasting, uninterrupted happiness is not attainable in ordinary human life; therefore one should cultivate prajñā (clear discernment). The wise person, guided by higher understanding, remains steady and ethically grounded despite inevitable fluctuations of pleasure and pain.
Vaiśampāyana, as narrator, delivers a reflective instruction addressed to a 'best of men,' emphasizing a general truth about the instability of worldly happiness and praising the composed wisdom of one who is endowed with supreme intellect.
