8. On the death of their father, his brothers, ignorant of his greatness and with the absolute belief that there is nothing more to be done than to study the Vedas, and to observe the gross duties enjoined therein, and destitute of any idea of the higher knowledge leading to self-realisation, thought him to be a dunce and wished to spare themselves from the trouble and decided upon giving up the irksome duty of teaching their brother.
