Educational Q&A
Spiritual power gained through tapas should be governed by self-restraint; anger must be checked and transformed into benevolence for the welfare of all beings.
The Pitṛs address the sage Aurva, acknowledging the formidable potency of his austerities and urging him to curb his wrath and extend grace to the worlds rather than unleash destructive anger.
