Virtue, then, is strong, and from it comes the success of the man of action.' Dhritarashtra said: 'Tell me, in due order, of those eternal realms said to be attained by twice-born men devoted to the practice of virtue, as the fruit of their own righteous deeds. Tell me also of other realms of a like kind. O learned sir, I have no wish to hear of deeds toward which the human heart naturally inclines, however forbidden or sinful they may be.' Sanatsujata said: 'Those twice-born men who take pride in the practice of yoga, relying, like men of strength, on their own power, depart from this world and shine in the realm of Brahman. Those twice-born men who take pride in laboring at sacrifices and other Vedic rites, as the fruit of the knowledge that is theirs, are through these very acts freed from this world and pass into that realm which is the abode of the gods. There are yet others, versed in the Vedas, who hold that the performance of sacrifices and rites enjoined by the Veda is obligatory, and that neglecting them is sinful. Bound to outward forms, though striving to cultivate the inner self — since they practice these rites for virtue's sake alone, not to gain any particular end — such men should not be held in the very highest regard, though they deserve a measure of respect. Again, wherever there is food and drink fit for a brahmin, as grass and reeds spring up in the rainy season, there let the yogin seek his sustenance, without troubling a householder of slender means; under no circumstance should he torment himself with hunger and thirst. In a place where a man might meet with both discomfort and danger from an aversion to revealing his own excellence, one who makes no claim to that excellence is better than one who does.'
