Jñāna-plava (The Raft of Knowledge): Svabhāva, Prajñā, and the Ascent to Ātmajñāna
पक््वविद्या महाप्राज्ञा जितक्रोधा जितेन्द्रिया: । मनसा कर्मणा वाचा नापराध्यन्ति करहिचित्
pakvavidyā mahāprājñā jitakrodhā jitendriyāḥ | manasā karmaṇā vācā nāparādhyanti karhicit ||
Sinabi ni Jaigiṣavya: Yaong ang pagkatuto ay nahinog tungo sa tunay na karunungan ay dakila ang pag-unawa. Napagtagumpayan nila ang galit at napasunod ang mga pandama; at kailanman ay hindi sila nagkakasala laban kaninuman—sa isip, sa gawa, o sa salita.

Educational Q&A
True education is measured by character: the genuinely wise conquer anger and the senses, and therefore avoid harming or offending others in thought, word, and deed.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on dharma and right conduct, the speaker Jaigiṣavya describes the qualities of the truly learned—those whose knowledge has matured into disciplined, non-offensive behavior.
