The advice given to the pupils is, every bit of it, highly powerful. By his devoted service to his mother and father, Dharmavyadha won eternal fame. Through consistent adherence to Truth, Rama and Harischandra made themselves immortal. By means of right conduct, mere men rose to the position of Mahapurushas. Buddha desisted from harm to living beings. He spoke of Ahimsa (non-violence) as "paramo dharmah" (the highest morality). So, he was revered as a world teacher.

The real thapas or asceticism in life is to observe these disciplines and restrictions as prescribed. The mind is the foremost of the three instruments in man (Thrikaranas). We must protect the mind so that attachment, passion and excitement do not enter. These extremes are natural to the mind. The waves that rise in fury in the mind are lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and envy. These six are the inner foes of man. The first two bring in their trail the remaining four. To release ourselves from the first two and thus proceed on the spiritual path, we have to practise Sadhana. Through Vidya we learn these practices.
