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 ||
मनुष्य जसा-जसा आपले मन कल्याण व धर्माकडे लावतो, तसा-तसा त्याचे सर्व योग्य हेतू सिद्ध होत जातात—यात संशय नाही.

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.
