Concept: Vairāgya (freedom from attachment) refines the enjoyer; merit yields ‘svarga-phala’ experienced through purified faculties—seeing, thinking, speaking, acting.
Application: Practice restraint and mindful purity in the four channels—what you watch, think, say, and do—so merit becomes elevating rather than binding.

FAQs
It teaches that freedom from attachment (vītarāga) leads to auspicious results after death, and that moral-spiritual outcomes arise through four channels: perception (eye), thought (mind), speech, and action.
It refers to the four modes through which one accrues and experiences results: by what one sees/looks upon (cakṣuṣā), thinks (manasā), speaks (vācā), and does (karmaṇā).
It frames ethics as comprehensive: discipline is required not only in actions but also in speech, mental intentions, and even in what one chooses to look at—since all four shape one’s karmic outcomes.
