Kapila said: “It is the unwise who, being without faith and aspiration, indolent and exhausted, and tormented by the consequences of their own deeds, imagine that peace is found only by renunciation. Such people, taking refuge in the path of wandering mendicancy, declare that the householder’s discipline lacks tranquility—yet this judgment arises from their own weakness, not from the true nature of dharma.”
