Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
द्रव्यवान् गुणवानेवं त्यागी भवति सात््विक: । पज्च भूतानि पञ्चभ्यो निवर्तयति तादृश:
dravyavān guṇavān evaṁ tyāgī bhavati sāttvikaḥ | pañca bhūtāni pañcabhyo nivartayati tādṛśaḥ ||
সনৎসুজাত বললেন—যে গৃহস্থ ধনী হয়েও গুণবান, ত্যাগী ও সাত্ত্বিক, সে তার পাঁচ ইন্দ্রিয়কে তাদের পাঁচ বিষয় থেকে ফিরিয়ে আনে।

Educational Q&A
True sāttvika living is not mere possession or status but inner renunciation: even while wealthy and active as a householder, one should withdraw the senses from their objects and live with disciplined detachment.
In the Sanatsujātīya discourse of Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs on spiritual and ethical discipline, describing the ideal householder who cultivates virtue and restrains the senses.
