Educational Q&A
Renunciation becomes spiritually fruitful when grounded in universal non-harm: one who gives 'abhaya'—a commitment not to frighten, injure, or exploit any being—and then goes forth as a mendicant is said to attain luminous post-mortem realms and ultimately mokṣa (ānantya).
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, Vyāsa states a rule-like assurance: a dvija who first establishes harmlessness toward all creatures and then adopts the life of pravrajyā (wandering renunciation) gains exalted destinations after death and finally reaches the Infinite.
