Śarīrin, Buddhi, and the Limits of Sense-Perception (इन्द्रियबुद्धिशरीरिविचारः)
यथा स्वनुष्ठितं ध्यानं तथा कुर्वन्ति योगिन: । महर्षयो ज्ञानतृप्ता निर्वाणणतमानसा:
bhīṣma uvāca | yathā svanuṣṭhitaṃ dhyānaṃ tathā kurvanti yoginaḥ | maharṣayo jñānatṛptā nirvāṇatamanāsāḥ |
ビーシュマは言った。「ヨーギーたちは、禅定が正しく、しかも完全に成就するように修習する。真の知に満ち、心をニルヴァーナ(nirvāṇa)へと向けた大聖仙たちは、禅定をよく成し遂げ得るその方法をこそ採り、解脱(mokṣa)を自らの本性として念を定めるのだ。」
भीष्म उवाच
Meditation should be undertaken with correct method and discipline; the wise seers, fulfilled by liberating knowledge, choose whatever practical means best enables steady dhyāna, because their aim is nirvāṇa (mokṣa).
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma is instructing Yudhiṣṭhira on higher dharma and the path to liberation; here he describes how accomplished yogins and great seers orient their practice toward effective meditation and mokṣa.
