[Meghnad's POV]
I nodded slowly, still processing the magnitude of what I had seen and heard. The Agneyastra wasn't just a weapon—it was a testament to divine harmony, a greater responsibility than I had imagined.
"Gurudev," I began, my voice unsteady yet resolute, "how do I ensure my intent aligns with such purity? Is it merely a matter of discipline, or is there something more?"
Shukracharya regarded me for a moment, his expression unreadable. "Discipline is but the foundation," he said, his tone carrying the weight of profound wisdom. "True alignment requires an unwavering understanding of yourself and your purpose. It is not enough to desire power—you must know why you seek it. The Astra will reject a heart tainted by selfishness or malice. It recognizes only those who strive for dharma."
