FAQs
It teaches moksha-dharma through samatā (equanimity): when one is equal toward friend and enemy, one becomes established in all-pervading consciousness (jñāna) and realizes the Self (ātman).
Though phrased in jñāna terms, it supports bhakti by urging freedom from partiality and hostility—qualities that purify the heart so devotion can become steady and universal rather than driven by likes and dislikes.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical-mental discipline (samatā toward all), which is treated in Moksha-Dharma as a prerequisite for higher knowledge and liberation.
