Aṇuśāsana

Aṇuśāsana is a concept from ancient Indian philosophy referring to subtle, guiding teachings or instructions given by a master to a disciple. It emphasizes personalized, gentle encouragement for moral and spiritual growth, often conveyed through subtle hints or insights rather than direct commands. Think of it as a mentor offering wise nudges to help someone progress on their path, nurturing inner understanding and discipline without force. Aṇuśāsana highlights the importance of individualized guidance in developing inner virtues and advancing one’s spiritual journey.
