Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 34 — Vidura’s Counsel on Deliberation, Speech-Discipline, and Dharmic Kingship

यथा यथा हि पुरुष: कल्याणे कुरुते मन: । तथा तथास्यथ सर्वार्था: सिद्धयन्ते नात्र संशय:,मनुष्य जैसे-जैसे कल्याणमें मन लगाता है, वैसे-ही-वैसे उसके सारे अभीष्ट सिद्ध होते हैं--इसमें तनिक भी संदेह नहीं है

yathā yathā hi puruṣaḥ kalyāṇe kurute manaḥ | tathā tathāsya sarvārthāḥ siddhyante nātra saṁśayaḥ ||

മനുഷ്യൻ എത്ര എത്രയായി മനസ്സിനെ കല്യാണത്തിലും ധർമ്മത്തിലും സ്ഥാപിക്കുമോ, അത്ര അത്രയായി അവന്റെ എല്ലാ ന്യായമായ ലക്ഷ്യങ്ങളും സിദ്ധിക്കുന്നു—ഇതിൽ സംശയമില്ല.

Educational Q&A

Directing one’s mind toward kalyāṇa—ethical and wholesome good—naturally leads to the accomplishment of one’s aims; inner moral intention is presented as the foundation of outer success.

In the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-filled context, Vidura speaks as a moral advisor, emphasizing that the decisive factor for a person’s outcomes is the mind’s steady commitment to the good.
