FAQs
It defines śānti (peace) as inner contentment with unasked-for, naturally arising gains, and frames such contentment as a form of tapas that leads to siddhi—spiritual maturity and steadiness.
By encouraging reliance on what comes without anxious striving, it supports bhakti as trustful surrender and non-possessiveness—reducing craving so the mind can remain steady in remembrance and worship.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa or Jyotiṣa) is taught in this verse; the practical takeaway is ethical-spiritual discipline: cultivating contentment (saṃtoṣa) as a daily sādhanā that strengthens tapas.
