ສະນັດສຸຊາຕະກ່າວວ່າ: “ຜູ້ຮູ້ເວດະກ່າວສັນລະເສີນຈັນຍາຂອງຜູ້ນັ້ນວ່າຖືກຕ້ອງແທ້. ແຕ່ບໍ່ຄວນໃຫ້ຄ່າຄົນດ້ວຍເຄື່ອງໝາຍພາຍນອກ ຫຼືສະຖານະ—ຈະພາຍນອກຫຼືພາຍໃນກໍຕາມ—ຖ້າເຂົາຫັນຫນີຈາກການປະຕິບັດທຳມະຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ. ຜູ້ທີ່ປະເສີດແທ້ ແມ່ນຜູ້ທີ່ຫັນເຂົ້າສູ່ພາຍໃນ ໂດຍການຮັກສາທຳມະຢ່າງບໍ່ຫວັງຜົນ.”

Educational Q&A
True worth is not determined by outward identifiers or mere reputation; the superior person is one who is inwardly aligned with dharma through sincere, selfless practice, as affirmed by Veda-knowers.
In the Udyoga Parva dialogue, Sanatsujāta instructs the listener on ethical discernment: even if learned people praise someone’s ‘proper conduct,’ one must prioritize genuine dharmic orientation over external or merely formal qualities.
