Doṣa-Parīkṣā and Guṇa-Viveka
Examination of Faults and Discernment of the Guṇas
यदा कर्मगुणैहीना बुद्धिर्मनसि वर्तते । तदा प्रज्ञायते ब्रह्म ध्यानयोगसमाधिना
yadā karmaguṇair hīnā buddhir manasi vartate | tadā prajñāyate brahma dhyānayogasamādhinā ||
ビーシュマは言った。「行為を縛る諸の性質から離れた知性（ブッディ）が、心（マナス）のうちに揺るぎなく住するとき、禅定・ヨーガ・サマーディの深い凝集によって、ブラフマンは悟られる。」

Educational Q&A
Realization of Brahman becomes possible when the intellect is no longer driven by the binding qualities that propel action and desire; through meditative discipline culminating in samādhi, the mind becomes steady and direct knowledge arises.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on liberation-oriented dharma. Here he describes an inner condition—buddhi purified of action-impulses—and states that, through dhyāna-yoga leading to samādhi, Brahman is directly realized.
