Educational Q&A
One should not justify wrongdoing as being for family or dependents; karmic results adhere to the doer, who must bear the suffering alone in this life and the next.
A Brahmin speaker delivers a moral instruction in the Shanti Parva, warning that attachment to spouse and household can lead a person to commit sins, but the burden of their consequences is not shared—only the individual experiences the fruits.
