Educational Q&A

That imparting the highest, attributeless Brahman-knowledge (nirguṇa-brahma-upadeśa) to disciples is a dharmic act that leads to supreme spiritual attainment; the verse presents teaching as a direct means to liberation and exalted realms.

Vyāsa continues a catalog-like account of revered sages: he states that the sage Sāṅkṛti of the Ātreya line taught his disciples about nirguṇa Brahman and, after completing this instruction, attained the unsurpassed worlds.
