अक्षरब्रह्मयोग (Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga) — Knowledge of the Imperishable, Prakṛti, and Devotion
भीष्मपर्वणि तु अष्टाविंशोड ध्याय:
yatendriya-manobuddhir munir mokṣa-parāyaṇaḥ | vigatecchā-bhaya-krodho yaḥ sadā mukta eva saḥ ||
যে মুনি ইন্দ্রিয়, মন ও বুদ্ধিকে জয় করেছে, মোক্ষপরায়ণ হয়েছে, এবং যার ইচ্ছা, ভয় ও ক্রোধ লুপ্ত—সে সত্যই সদা মুক্ত।

Educational Q&A
Liberation is characterized by inner mastery: when a person has disciplined the senses, mind, and intellect and has transcended desire, fear, and anger, that person is considered ever free—liberation is expressed as a stable ethical-psychological state, not merely a distant goal.
In the Bhīṣma Parva’s teaching context, the verse describes the qualities of a liberation-oriented sage, emphasizing the inner conditions that make one ‘always free’ even amid worldly circumstances.
