Educational Q&A
Freedom from karmic bondage comes through non-attachment to action and through ethical restraint—especially abstaining from harming living beings—together with cultivated character and compassion.
Śrī Maheśvara is delivering a dharma-instruction, describing the qualities of the righteous: they act without clinging, avoid violence, and embody good conduct and mercy.
