Educational Q&A
Spiritual maturity is supported by disciplined practice—tapas, respectful service to the guru, and brahmacarya—together with an essential ethical attitude: freedom from envy and fault-finding (an-asūyā), especially toward the divine order.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional dialogue, King Janaka speaks to a powerful interlocutor, listing recognized means of inner purification (austerity, guru-oriented conduct, and brahmacarya) and emphasizing the accompanying virtue of non-envy.
