Educational Q&A

Mastery of mind, intellect, and senses is the means to self-knowledge; when disciplined, one’s own self supports one’s welfare, and when undisciplined, it undermines it.

In the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-filled setting before the great war, Vidura delivers ethical instruction, emphasizing inner governance as the foundation for right action and sound judgment.
