ຖືກທໍລະມານໂດຍກິ່ນເໝັນອັນທົນບໍ່ໄດ້ ພຣະອົງຈຶ່ງກ່າວກັບທູດເທວະດາວ່າ: «ຈົ່ງກັບໄປຫາຜູ້ທີ່ເຈົ້າເປັນທູດຂອງເຂົາ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະບໍ່ໄປທີ່ນັ້ນ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະຢູ່ທີ່ນີ້—ຈົ່ງແຈ້ງໃຫ້ນາຍຂອງເຈົ້າຮູ້. ເພາະເມື່ອຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຢູ່ໃກ້ ພີ່ນ້ອງແລະຍາດພີ່ນ້ອງຜູ້ທຸກທໍລະມານເຫຼົ່ານີ້ຈະໄດ້ຮັບຄວາມບັນເທົາບ້າງ»

Educational Q&A
Compassion and solidarity can outweigh personal comfort: the hero chooses to remain with suffering kin so that his presence eases their pain, embodying dharma as empathetic responsibility rather than self-serving reward.
