FAQs
It rebukes moha (delusion) and urges the seeker to remember their innate dhairya (steadiness), not to degrade their own higher aspiration by giving in to weakness.
Bhakti requires niṣṭhā (firmness) and trust; the verse warns that wavering and self-doubt obstruct sincere devotion, while steady effort honors one’s commitment to the Divine.
The takeaway aligns with Vyākaraṇa-style precision in self-inquiry—discriminating moha from dhairya—and with Dharmaśāstra ethics of self-restraint; it is more about inner discipline than ritual procedure.
