Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse praises the highest spiritual attainment as ‘supreme peace’ and ‘transcendent repose,’ marked by kṛtakṛtyatā (having completed one’s true duty) and sama-darśana (equanimity), where the realized person views all conditions without partiality.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vāyudeva speaks, identifying the ultimate goal that yogins reach. He describes the inner state attained through disciplined practice: a final peace in which the accomplished contemplatives consider all things with even-mindedness.
