Educational Q&A

Moral purification and righteous action culminate in inner clarity: when sin is exhausted and one is freed from delusion caused by life’s opposites (pleasure/pain, success/failure), devotion becomes steady and wholehearted.

In the Bhīṣma Parva dialogue on the battlefield, Arjuna speaks within the larger spiritual instruction: he articulates that those who have lived meritoriously and overcome moral fault become free from delusive dualities and thus worship the Lord with firm resolve.
