Brahmā’s Instruction on Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha, and the Aliṅga Path
Ethics of Non-attachment
Devanagari script
य एवं वृत्तसम्पन्न: स मुनि: श्रेष्ठ उच्यते । जिस कामके करनेसे समाजके दूसरे लोग अनादर करें, वैसा ही काम शान्त रहकर सदा करता रहे, किंतु सत्पुरुषोंके धर्मकी निन्दा न करे। जो इस प्रकारके बर्तावसे सम्पन्न है, वह श्रेष्ठ मुनि कहलाता है
Transliteration
ya evaṁ vṛttasampannaḥ sa muniḥ śreṣṭha ucyate |
Translation
Vāyu said: “He who is endowed with such disciplined conduct is called the best of sages. Even if others in society show disrespect for the work he undertakes, he should calmly continue to do what is right; yet he must never revile the dharma of the virtuous. One who is perfected in such behavior is truly the श्रेष्ठ (foremost) muni.”
