Educational Q&A
A dharma-consistent ‘secret’ is emphasized: one should, with śraddhā (faithful trust), always follow the instruction (vacana) of one’s gurus/elders—treating their guidance as a binding ethical duty (kartavya).
The speaker, Lokaśa, introduces a further confidential instruction framed as a dharmic principle, directing the listener toward continual, faith-based adherence to the counsel and commands of teachers and elders.
