अक्षरब्रह्मयोग (Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga) — Knowledge of the Imperishable, Prakṛti, and Devotion
लभभनते ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृषय: क्षीणकल्मषा: । छिन्नद्वैधा यतात्मान: सर्वभूतहिते रता:
labhante brahmanirvāṇam ṛṣayaḥ kṣīṇakalmaṣāḥ | chinnadvaidhā yatātmānaḥ sarvabhūtahite ratāḥ ||
垢れが尽きた聖仙たちは梵の寂静に到る—内なる葛藤を断ち切り、自らを律し、あらゆる生きものの福利に喜びを見いだす者たちである。この偈は、解脱を世からの逃避としてではなく、浄められた心が普遍の善に捧げられて成熟する倫理的完成として描く。

Educational Q&A
Liberation (brahmanirvāṇa) is attained by those who have purified their moral impurities, resolved inner doubt and duality through clarity, mastered the self, and are actively devoted to the good of all beings—linking spiritual realization with ethical universalism.
In the Bhīṣma Parva’s philosophical instruction on the eve of battle, the discourse describes the qualities of realized sages: their sins are exhausted, doubts are cut off, they are self-governed, and they work for the welfare of all—thereby reaching the peace of Brahman.
