TEXTUAL ANCHOR
Begin with a traceable source
Mahabharata; Bhagavad Gita chapters 1–2. The source is an anchor for study, not a claim that this modern guide is a verbatim passage or the only valid interpretation.
Study the source in context →Ethics · RESPONSIBLE PRACTICE
Dharma-vicāraDharma decision guide
Discern duties when truth, non-harm, loyalty, justice and consequences pull in different directions.
DAILY PRACTICE
Turn the teaching into conduct
Write the facts, uncertainties, stakeholders, duties, harms, alternatives and vulnerable persons; seek independent counsel.
DISCERNMENT
Keep the practice humane
No formula removes moral responsibility or the need for legal and professional advice.
REFLECTION
A question to carry
Could I explain this choice truthfully to those affected?
Answer with one observable example. Spiritual maturity is better tested through truthfulness, steadiness, compassion, repair and useful action than through claims of status.
