Instruction on the Cessation of Craving

यथाश्रममुपासीत आगमस्तत्र सिध्यति । सिद्धि: प्रत्यक्षरूपा च दृश्यत्यागमनिश्चयात्‌

yathāśramam upāsīta āgamas tatra sidhyati | siddhiḥ pratyakṣarūpā ca dṛśyaty āgamanīścayāt ||

જે-જે આશ્રમમાં જે-જે ધર્મ વિહિત છે, ત્યાં-ત્યાં એ જ ધર્મનું આચરણ કરવું જોઈએ. પોતાના આશ્રમધર્મનું પાલન કરવાથી ત્યાં આગમ સિદ્ધ થાય છે; અને શાસ્ત્રનિશ્ચયથી સિદ્ધિ પ્રત્યક્ષરૂપે અનુભવાય છે.

Educational Q&A

Practice the duties and disciplines appropriate to your own āśrama; by such faithful observance the scriptural teaching is validated in life, and its promised attainment becomes directly evident through firm scriptural conviction.

In the Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, Kapila is explaining a principle of right conduct: spiritual progress is not one-size-fits-all but depends on correctly following the dharma prescribed for one’s life-stage, which makes the truth of the tradition experientially manifest.
