Educational Q&A
Moral awareness deepens when one recognizes the virtue of the person harmed: realizing a sage’s compassion makes one’s own offense feel heavier, prompting sincere remorse and the impulse toward ethical correction.
After committing an offense against the sage Śamīka, the offender reflects on Śamīka’s compassionate disposition and, through that reflection, becomes increasingly distressed and repentant over the wrongdoing.
