Shloka 14
Adhyāya 241: Guṇa-sṛṣṭi, Kṣetrajña-sākṣitva, and Śama through Ātma-jñāna (गुणसृष्टिः, क्षेत्रज्ञसाक्षित्वं, शमः)
द्न्द्ै्न यत्र बाध्यन्ते मानसेन च कर्मणा । समा: सर्वत्र मैत्राश्व॒ सर्वभूतहिते रता:
dvandvaiḥ yatra bādhyante mānasena ca karmaṇā | samāḥ sarvatra maitrāśva sarvabhūtahite ratāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「その到達の境地においては、人は快・不快などの二対（ドヴァンドヴァ）にも、心の構成にも、過去の行為の余勢にも悩まされない。そこに安住する者は、どこにあっても平等心を保ち、すべてを友と見なし、あらゆる生きとし生けるものの利益に身を捧げる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that spiritual attainment is marked by freedom from the tyranny of opposites (pleasure/pain), from restless mental fabrications, and from karmic compulsions; the realized person becomes even-minded, universally friendly, and actively committed to the welfare of all beings.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira by describing the qualities of those who have reached a higher state of realization: they are not disturbed by dualities or karmic residues and live with impartiality and compassion toward all.
