Educational Q&A
A true knower of dharma, endowed with noble resolve, sees others as oneself—cultivating impartiality, compassion, and ethical restraint rather than self-centered judgment.
A brāhmaṇa is describing the qualities of a dharma-knower: his inner maturity is shown by an equal, self-like regard for the world, indicating a moral vision that guides conduct.
