Educational Q&A
A true spiritual person remains inwardly content amid life’s opposites (heat/cold, pleasure/pain) and does not fixate on others; such self-contained equanimity is presented as the mark of a real brāhmaṇa (Brahman-knower).
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on liberation and right conduct, Kapila speaks as a teacher, defining who deserves the title ‘brāhmaṇa’ not by birth or ritual alone but by inner steadiness and freedom from mental preoccupation with others.
