Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

True spiritual stature is not always recognized by the crowd. One who departs with yogic composure (yogayukta) may move toward a higher state (ūrdhvagati), yet ordinary observers—limited by grief, confusion, or worldly perception—fail to grasp that inner majesty.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Droṇācārya, described as wise and yoga-composed, is departing toward a higher course. Those around did not perceive or realize the greatness of his yogic departure, indicating a contrast between outward events of war and the inward spiritual condition of the departing teacher.
