Description of the Path of Meditation
चित्तस्य हि प्रसादेन हित्वा कर्म शुभाशुभम् । प्रसन्नात्मा55त्मनि स्थित्वा सुखमानन्त्यमश्लुते
cittasya hi prasādena hitvā karma śubhāśubham | prasannātmā ātmani sthitvā sukham ānantyam aśnute ||
Ketika batin menjadi jernih dan tenteram, seseorang melepaskan keterikatan pada perbuatan yang dinilai ‘baik’ maupun ‘buruk’. Dengan diri batin yang damai, ia teguh bersemayam dalam Sang Diri (Ātman) dan mengecap kebahagiaan tanpa batas.

Educational Q&A
Mental clarity (citta-prasāda) enables detachment from identification with ‘good’ and ‘bad’ actions as result-producing labels. Established in the Self, one experiences limitless bliss—suggesting liberation is grounded in inner purification and Self-abidance rather than in moral bookkeeping alone.
In Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Bharadvāja speaks as a teacher, describing the inner transformation of a seeker: the mind becomes serene, attachment to auspicious/inauspicious karma is relinquished, and the person rests in the Self, tasting infinite happiness.
