The Sin of Breaking Households: Citrā’s Past Karma and the Remedy of Hari’s Name and Meditation
क्रोधादिभिः क्लेशसंज्ञैर्वायुभिः परिवर्जितः । निःस्पृहो निश्चलो भूत्वा तेजसा स्वयमुज्ज्वलेत्
krodhādibhiḥ kleśasaṃjñairvāyubhiḥ parivarjitaḥ | niḥspṛho niścalo bhūtvā tejasā svayamujjvalet
Frei von den Winden des Leids—wie Zorn und dergleichen—werde er wunschlos und unbeweglich; dann leuchtet er aus eigener innerer Strahlkraft hervor.
Unspecified (context not provided in input; likely within the Bhūmi-khaṇḍa instructional dialogue tradition)
Concept: By abandoning krodha and allied kleśas, becoming niḥspṛha and niścala, the self’s innate radiance manifests without external support.
Application: Practice anger-audit (krodha-nigraha), reduce sensory overreach, keep a steady daily japa/meditation slot; treat emotional surges as 'winds' to be let pass without steering decisions.

FAQs
It treats anger and similar impulses as “winds” of suffering (kleśas) that agitate the mind; the practice is to avoid their sway so inner clarity can arise.
It points to vairāgya (freedom from craving) and steadiness of attention—cultivating non-reactivity so the mind is not pulled by desire or aversion.
When one restrains harmful emotions and remains steady, one’s character and discernment become self-evident—virtue ‘radiates’ without needing external validation.
