Vidura’s Moral Philosophy

An epic must be vast. It must include all the aspects of life. Life has all the colors of possibilities and facts. Mahabharata is a great epic and contains all the true colors of life. In this epic, there are characters which are regarded as personification of morality and virtue; and there are characters which are regarded as personification of evil too. Vidura and Bheeshma belong to first category, the personification of virtue.

Vidura explains his theory of moral principles with a clear distinction between shreyas (good) and preyas (pleasing). Vidura says that the good (Shreyas) is one thing, the pleasant (Preyas) is another. These two having different purposes, bind a man. Of these two, it is well for him who takes hold of the good; he who chooses the pleasant misses his end. The good and the pleasant approach a man; the wise man considers and distinguishes the two.
