Adhyātma Taxonomy: Elements, Faculties, and Guṇas
जब जीवात्मा सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंमें अपनेको और अपनेमें सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको स्थित देखता है, उस समय वह ब्रह्मभावको प्राप्त हो जाता है
yadā jīvātmā samasta-prāṇiṣu ātmānaṃ ca samasta-prāṇinaḥ ātmany eva sthitān paśyati, tadā sa brahma-bhāvaṃ prāpnoti.
ヴィヤーサは言った。個の自己が、あらゆる存在のうちに自らを見、また自らのうちにあらゆる存在を見ることを真に成し遂げるとき、それは梵（ブラフマン）の境地に至る—分離が消え、普遍の敬意が自然となる倫理の眼である。

Liberation arises from direct realization of non-separation: seeing the same Self in all beings and all beings within oneself. This vision culminates in brahma-bhāva, the Brahman-state, which grounds ethical conduct in universal empathy rather than narrow self-interest.
In the Shānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Vyāsa articulates a contemplative criterion for spiritual attainment: the moment of inner vision where the jīvātmā recognizes its identity/continuity with all life, leading to Brahman-realization.
