যাৰ সুখ অন্তৰত, যাৰ আনন্দ আত্মাতেই, আৰু যাৰ জ্ঞানজ্যোতি অন্তৰতে দীপ্ত—সেই যোগী ব্ৰহ্মভূত হৈ ব্ৰহ্মনিৰ্বাণ, অৰ্থাৎ ব্ৰহ্মশান্তি লাভ কৰে।

Educational Q&A
True liberation is reached by the yogin who is no longer dependent on external pleasures, but is inwardly content, inwardly absorbed, and inwardly illumined by knowledge; such a person, established in Brahman-consciousness, attains Brahmanic peace (brahma-nirvāṇa).
In Bhīṣma Parva, within the war-setting discourse on yoga and knowledge, Arjuna voices a verse describing the culmination of the sāṅkhya-yogin’s path: after conquering desire and anger and turning away from transient sense-enjoyments, the practitioner abides in inner joy and inner light and thereby reaches liberation.
