FAQs
Freedom from greed (lobha-nivṛtti), endurance/forbearance in hardships (sarva-sāha), and being a dependable refuge for others (sarvasya āśraya-bhūta).
The verse states that such people are “svargagāminaḥ”—they attain heaven (svarga).
Personal self-restraint (renouncing greed) should mature into social responsibility (becoming a refuge to all); moral excellence is measured by both inner discipline and outward support of others.
