Vidura retired from putting questionaires before Maitreya Muni when he was convinced by Maitreya Rishi that Summum Bonum gain of life is to be finally situated in the transcendental loving service of Lord Sri Krishna who is Govinda or One who satisfies His devotees in all respects. The conditioned soul or living being in material existence seeks after happiness of life by employing his senses on the modes of material products but that cannot give him satisfaction. He then searches after the supreme truth by emperic philosophical speculative method by intellectual feats. But if he does not find out the ultimate goal he again goes down to material activities and engages himself in various philanthrophic and altruistic activities which also fail to give him satisfaction, so neither fruitive activities nor dry philosophical speculation can give one satisfaction: because by nature a living being is eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna and all the Vedic literatures give him direction towards that ultimate end. The Bhagwat Geeta confirms this statement (B.G. 15/15).
#$p#Like Vidura an inquisitive conditioned soul must approach a bonafide spiritual master like Maitreya and by intelligent enquiries must try to know everything about Karma (fruitive activities) Jnana (philosophical researches in the matter of Supreme truth) Yoga (the linking process of spiritual realisation). One who is not seriously inclined to put questionaires before a spiritual master, need not accommodate a showbottle spiritual master neither a person, who may be the spiritual master for others, may pose to be so if he is unable to engage his disciple ultimately in the transcendental loving service of Lord Sri Krishna. Vidura was successful in the matter of approaching a spiritual master like Maitreya and he got the ultimate goal of life Bhakti unto Govinda and thus there was nothing to be known further in the matter of spiritual progress of life.

Vidura retired from putting questions before Maitreya Muni when he was convinced by Maitreya Ṛṣi that the #i#summum bonum#/i# of life is to be finally situated in the transcendental loving service of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is Govinda, or one who satisfies His devotees in all respects. The conditioned soul, the living being in material existence, seeks happiness by employing his senses in the modes of materialism, but that cannot give him satisfaction. He then searches after the Supreme Truth by the empiric philosophic speculative method and intellectual feats. But if he does not find the ultimate goal, he again goes down to material activities and engages himself in various philanthropic and altruistic works, which all fail to give him satisfaction. So neither fruitive activities nor dry philosophical speculation can give one satisfaction because by nature a living being is the eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and all the Vedic literatures give him direction towards that ultimate end. The #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# (BG 15.15) confirms this statement.
#$p#Like Vidura, an inquisitive conditioned soul must approach a bona fide spiritual master like Maitreya and by intelligent inquiries must try to know everything about #i#karma#/i# (fruitive activities), #i#jñāna#/i# (philosophical research for the Supreme Truth) and #i#yoga#/i# (the linking process of spiritual realization). One who is not seriously inclined to put questions before a spiritual master need not accommodate a show-bottle spiritual master, nor should a person who may be a spiritual master for others pose to be so if he is unable to engage his disciple ultimately in the transcendental loving service of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Vidura was successful in approaching such a spiritual master like Maitreya, and he got the ultimate goal of life: #i#bhakti#/i# unto Govinda. Thus there was nothing to be known further about spiritual progress.
