मनुरुवाच — इन्द्रिय-मनः-ज्ञान-क्रमः
Manu on the hierarchy of senses, mind, and knowledge
स वै तस्यामवस्थायां सर्वत्यागकृत: सुखम् । निरिच्छस्त्यजति प्राणान् ब्राह्मीं संविशते तनुम्ू
sa vai tasyām avasthāyāṁ sarvatyāgakṛtaḥ sukham | niricchas tyajati prāṇān brāhmīṁ saṁviśate tanum ||
ビーシュマは言った。「その境地に安住したヨーギーは、万物を捨て尽くすことから生じる至福を味わう。いかなる欲も離れ、生命の息(プラーナ)を捨てて梵の境位に入り、清浄なるブラフマンの実在に住するのである。」
भीष्म उवाच
True liberation is linked to complete renunciation and desirelessness: when craving ceases, the yogin abides in the highest bliss and, at life’s end, attains the Brahmic state rather than being driven by residual wants.
In Bhishma’s instruction during the Shanti Parva, he describes the culmination of yogic practice: the realized ascetic, established in the highest state, experiences renunciation-born bliss and departs from the body without desire, entering Brahman.
