Educational Q&A
Lasting peace comes from becoming vītarāga (free of attachment). Craving (tṛṣṇā), when joined with ignorance (ajñāna), becomes a powerful inner driver that leads one into grave wrongdoing; therefore ethical life requires disciplining desire through insight and detachment.
In the Śānti Parva’s reflective setting after the war, Yudhiṣṭhira speaks in a tone of remorse and self-examination. He resolves toward a detached mode of life and interprets his past moral failures as having been propelled by craving, which he now recognizes as rooted in ignorance.
