Brahmā’s Instruction on Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha, and the Aliṅga Path
Ethics of Non-attachment
आशीर्युक्तानि सर्वाणि हिंसायुक्तानि यानि च । लोकसंग्रहधर्म च नैव कुर्यान्न कारयेत्,जितने भी कामना और हिंसासे युक्त कर्म हैं, उन सबका एवं लौकिक कर्मोंका न स्वयं अनुष्ठान करे और न दूसरोंसे करावे
āśīryuktāni sarvāṇi hiṃsāyuktāni yāni ca | lokasaṃgrahadharmaṃ ca naiva kuryān na kārayet ||
ಫಲಾಶೆಯುಕ್ತವೂ ಹಿಂಸೆಯುಕ್ತವೂ ಆದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕರ್ಮಗಳನ್ನೂ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಕೇವಲ ಲೋಕಸಂಗ್ರಹ (ಲೋಕಪ್ರಸನ್ನತೆ/ಲೋಕಪಾಲನೆ)ಗಾಗಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಕರ್ಮಗಳನ್ನೂ—ತಾನೇ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು, ಇತರರಿಂದ ಮಾಡಿಸಬಾರದು।
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Do not engage in actions motivated by craving for results or marked by violence, and do not shift moral blame by having others do such acts on your behalf. Ethical responsibility includes both direct action and indirect instigation.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener on right conduct, emphasizing restraint from desire-driven and harmful deeds and warning against justifying questionable acts under the banner of worldly or socially expedient ‘dharma’.
