Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
तूष्णीमेक उपासीत चेष्टेत मनसापि न | तथा संस्तुतिनिन्दाभ्यां प्रीतिरोषौ विवर्जयेत्
tūṣṇīm eka upāsīta ceṣṭeta manasāpi na | tathā saṁstuti-nindābhyāṁ prīti-roṣau vivarjayet ||
Oleh itu, hendaklah seseorang berdiam dalam perenungan sunyi, bersendirian, bebas daripada segala gerak-geri lahiriah, dan jangan biarkan kegelisahan timbul walau dalam fikiran. Demikian juga, hendaklah ditinggalkan kedua-duanya: keterikatan yang lahir daripada pujian dan kemarahan yang lahir daripada celaan.

Educational Q&A
Cultivate inner stillness and solitude, restrain both bodily and mental agitation, and remain even-minded by giving up attachment to praise and anger at blame.
In the Sanatsujātīya section of the Udyoga Parva, the sage Sanatsujāta instructs (in a spiritual-ethical discourse) that true discipline involves quiet contemplation and freedom from emotional reactivity to social approval or criticism.
