Educational Q&A
All Vedic and righteous actions—even when performed with desire for results and accompanied by blessings—should be contemplated as ultimately directed toward pleasing the ‘Aniruddha’, the unobstructed inner divine principle identified with the primal cosmic ordinance.
In Bhishma’s instruction during the Śānti Parva, he explains a theological interpretation of ritual and cosmic order: the Creator’s primordial dispensation is named ‘Aniruddha’ by the learned, and worldly Vedic rites are to be understood as oriented toward that supreme inner reality.
