Educational Q&A

True wisdom includes understanding diverse human mentalities without falling into contempt or blame; mastery of how association influences character makes one fit to guide others and thus worthy of honor.

Vāyudeva describes Nārada’s conduct: he observes people’s varied dispositions, refrains from condemning them, and is renowned for discerning the nature and effects of different kinds of company—hence his universal respect.
