Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that unethical conduct destroys both worldly honor and otherworldly welfare: one loses good reputation here and forfeits the auspicious fruits promised for the hereafter.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīṣma continues a moral discourse, warning that a person who follows a blameworthy path gains neither public esteem in this life nor the declared blessings of the next.
