Śānti-parva 206: Guṇa-hetu Moha, Kāma-krodha Chain, Indriya-utpatti, and Nirodha
इसलिये ज्ञानके द्वारा बुद्धिको, बुद्धिके द्वारा मनको तथा मनके द्वारा इन्द्रिय- समुदायको निर्मल एवं शुद्ध करके अविनाशी परमात्माको प्राप्त किया जा सकता है ।। बुद्धिप्रवीणो मनसा समृद्धो निराशिषं निर्गुणमभ्युपैति । परं त्यजन्तीह विलोड्यमाना हुताशनं वायुरिवेन्धनस्थम्
buddhipravīṇo manasā samṛddho nirāśiṣaṁ nirguṇam abhyupaiti | paraṁ tyajantīha viloḍyamānā hutāśanaṁ vāyur ivendhanastham ||
Bhishma said: When one refines the intellect through true knowledge, steadies the mind through that clarified intellect, and then purifies the whole range of the senses through the disciplined mind, one becomes fit to attain the imperishable Supreme Self. A person skilled in discernment and enriched with a well-governed mind approaches the attributeless Reality (nirguṇa) without craving. Just as wind, by churning and fanning, makes the fire hidden in fuel blaze forth, so does inner discipline bring forth the Supreme by abandoning lower attachments here in this very life.
