Brahma-vidyā: Satya–Tapas and the Enumeration of Tattvas
Arjuna–Vāsudeva framed dialogue
वायुदेव उवाच तस्मै सम्प्रतिपन्नाय यथावत् परिपृच्छते । शिष्याय गुणयुक्ताय शान्ताय प्रियवर्तिने
vāyudeva uvāca: tasmai sampratipannāya yathāvat paripṛcchate | śiṣyāya guṇayuktāya śāntāya priyavartine ||
वायुदेव बोले— जो शिष्य पूर्णतः गुरु की शरण में आ चुका था और यथोचित रीति से प्रश्न कर रहा था—जो गुणवान, शान्त और गुरु को प्रिय लगने वाला आचरण करने वाला था—उसके प्रति गुरु ने उचित उत्तर दिया।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Right learning depends on right approach: a disciple should surrender ego, inquire properly, remain calm and virtuous, and act for the teacher’s good; then the teacher’s instruction becomes precise and fruitful.
Vāyudeva describes an exemplary student who has approached his guru correctly and asks questions in the proper way; in response, the wise, vow-keeping teacher answers the previously raised questions accurately.
