Educational Q&A
A teacher responds to students with attentive listening and benevolent readiness to help, modeling dharmic conduct: hear first, then invite clear speech, and offer service without ego.
After hearing the disciples’ statement/request, the Brahmarṣi (Vyāsa) addresses them affectionately and asks them to state what they want him to do for their benefit.
