FAQs
The guru models dharmic investigation: when duties depend on facts, one must inquire carefully rather than act on assumptions.
Didactic narrative (ācāra) framed as dialogue; not a pancalakṣaṇa core topic.
The ‘saṅkaṭa’ is also inner: when identity narratives clash, the mind destabilizes; the teacher’s questioning is the beginning of reintegration through discernment (viveka).
