Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
तूष्णीमेक उपासीत चेष्टेत मनसापि न | तथा संस्तुतिनिन्दाभ्यां प्रीतिरोषौ विवर्जयेत्,इसलिये सब प्रकारकी चेष्टासे रहित होकर एकान्तमें उपासना करे, मनसे भी कोई चेष्टा न होने दे तथा स्तुतिमें राग और निन्दामें द्वेष न करे
tūṣṇīm eka upāsīta ceṣṭeta manasāpi na | tathā saṁstuti-nindābhyāṁ prīti-roṣau vivarjayet ||
Kaya nga, manahan sa tahimik at nag-iisang pagninilay, malaya sa anumang kilos sa labas, at huwag hayaang magulo kahit ang isip. Gayundin, talikdan ang dalawang ito: ang pagkapit na dulot ng papuri at ang poot na dulot ng panunuligsa.

Educational Q&A
Cultivate inner stillness and solitude, restrain both bodily and mental agitation, and remain even-minded by giving up attachment to praise and anger at blame.
In the Sanatsujātīya section of the Udyoga Parva, the sage Sanatsujāta instructs (in a spiritual-ethical discourse) that true discipline involves quiet contemplation and freedom from emotional reactivity to social approval or criticism.
