Educational Q&A
Different spiritual disciplines—Sāṅkhya (discernment), Yoga (mental restraint), Upaniṣadic wisdom (non-duality of jīva and brahman), and Pañcarātra devotion—are not competing systems but complementary means toward one goal; for the one-pointed devotee, the culmination is dedicating all actions to Nārāyaṇa.
In Vaiśampāyana’s discourse within the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and liberation, he synthesizes multiple śāstric approaches and frames them as mutually supportive, concluding with a devotional ethic of offering every deed to the Lord.
