Educational Q&A

True dharma is sustained by disciplined practice (tapas) guided by humility and respect for one’s teacher; ethical steadiness is something to be consciously sought and maintained.

A devoted disciple asks for unwavering establishment in dharma, receives the guru’s permission, and then begins an intense course of austerity to secure that moral and spiritual stability.
