गतिरात्मवतां सन्त: सन्‍्त एव सतां गति: । असतां च गति: सन्‍्तो न त्वसन्त: सतां गति:,मनस्वी पुरुषोंको सहारा देनेवाले संत हैं; संतोंके भी सहारे संत ही हैं, दुष्टोंकी भी सहारा देनेवाले संत हैं, पर दुष्टलोग संतोंको सहारा नहीं देते

gatir ātmavatāṃ santaḥ santa eva satāṃ gatiḥ | asatāṃ ca gatiḥ santo na tv asantaḥ satāṃ gatiḥ ||

ആത്മനിയന്ത്രണമുള്ളവരുടെ ആശ്രയം സജ്ജന്മാർ; സജ്ജന്മാർക്കും ആശ്രയം സജ്ജന്മാരേ. ദുഷ്ടർക്കും ആശ്രയമാകുന്നത് സജ്ജന്മാരാണ്; എന്നാൽ ദുഷ്ടർ സജ്ജന്മാർക്ക് ആശ്രയമാകുന്നില്ല।

Educational Q&A

Vidura teaches that moral strength and social support ultimately rest on the virtuous: the good uphold the self-controlled and even rescue the wicked, while the wicked cannot truly sustain or guide the good.

In Udyoga Parva, Vidura offers ethical counsel amid the rising conflict, emphasizing where reliable support lies—urging reliance on the saintly and warning against depending on the unvirtuous.
