इसलिये ज्ञानके द्वारा बुद्धिको, बुद्धिके द्वारा मनको तथा मनके द्वारा इन्द्रिय- समुदायको निर्मल एवं शुद्ध करके अविनाशी परमात्माको प्राप्त किया जा सकता है ।।
buddhipravīṇo manasā samṛddho nirāśiṣaṁ nirguṇam abhyupaiti | paraṁ tyajantīha viloḍyamānā hutāśanaṁ vāyur ivendhanastham ||
ビーシュマは言った。「真の知によって智（buddhi）を磨き、その澄んだ智によって心（manas）を鎮め、さらに鍛えられた心によって感官の全域を清めるなら、人は不壊の至上我（Paramātman）に到るにふさわしくなる。識別に長け、よく治められた心に富む者は、欲を離れて無属性（nirguṇa）の実在へと近づく。風がかき回し煽って、薪に潜む火を燃え立たせるように、内なる規律はこの生において下劣な執着を捨てることで、至上を顕現させるのだ。」

Educational Q&A
Liberation is presented as an inner purification sequence: knowledge clarifies the intellect, the clarified intellect steadies the mind, and the steady mind disciplines the senses. With desirelessness and detachment, one can approach the imperishable, attributeless Supreme Self.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on the path of peace and liberation after the war, using the analogy of wind kindling fire hidden in fuel to illustrate how disciplined practice reveals the Supreme already present within.
