Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
ईर्ष्या मोदो&तिवादश्न संज्ञानाशो5 भ्यसूयिता । तस्मात् प्राज्ञो न माद्येत सदा होतदू् विगर्हितम्
īrṣyā modo ’tivādaś ca saṃjñānāśo ’bhyasūyitā | tasmāt prājño na mādyeta sadā hy etad vigarhitam ||
Sanatsujāta berkata: “Dengki, kegirangan mabuk, pertengkaran yang melampau, hilangnya kewarasan yang jernih, dan iri hati yang suka mencari salah—semuanya timbul daripada kemabukan. Maka orang bijaksana tidak patut mabuk sama sekali, kerana hal itu sentiasa dikecam dalam kehidupan beretika.”

Educational Q&A
Avoid intoxication: it is ethically condemned because it breeds envy, reckless elation, quarrelsome speech, loss of discernment, and spiteful fault-finding.
In Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs (as a moral and spiritual counselor) on proper conduct; here he warns that drunkenness corrupts character and undermines wise behavior.
