Educational Q&A
Respect for divine or rightful authority and the discipline of timely action: when a higher directive concludes an encounter, the proper dharmic response is orderly withdrawal without attachment or delay.
A deity addresses a gathering of sages and formally dismisses them, instructing them to return by the same path and to leave promptly, marking the end of their audience or inquiry.
