Educational Q&A
Spiritual perfection (siddhi/moksha) is approached through renunciation of inner defects (doṣa) and progressive detachment from limiting qualities; the emphasis is on purification and transcendence rather than worldly accomplishment.
After the sage’s statement concludes, Shuka (Śukadeva) departs, moving forward with the explicit aim of attaining siddhi, described as abandoning a set of four defects—signaling his readiness for the culminating stage of liberation.
